Maybe someone proficient with NASA's object tracker will do a little more checking on how close they will come. I just grabbed the chart images and have no idea if they'll even be on the same side of the solar system, on exit.

First discovered:

The object was discovered Oct. 19 by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS 1 telescope during a nightly search for near-Earth objects, NASA said. Astronomers are currently working to point telescopes towards the object to obtain more data. Once that's done, the information will be analyzed so scientists can determine more about its origin and composition.

So Voyager's thrusters were fired up two months later. More hmmm...

Whatever it is, NASA is fairly certain it's a unique object.
