Unconfirmed Claim
Asteroid 1998 OR2 passes Earth at 16 lunar distances; no risk
A ~2 km near-Earth asteroid made a well-tracked pass at roughly 6.3 million km. Distance was never within any hazard threshold.
Coverage of the flyby included exaggerated headlines. The object's trajectory was known for over two decades and is next expected in the same neighborhood in 2079.
