    Closest approach was 2,900km and we didn't even see it until 6 hours after it went by.  😮  Probably 3-6m in diameter (about 1/3rd the size of the Chelyabinsk meteor)  and travelling at 12.4km/second.  Definitely would have made some noise and got people's attention.

      The size was a factor, and also the trajectory.  It came in from the sunward side.  It was both smaller and slower than Chelyabinsk so in terms of energy this was probably less than a quarter of that.  Though that one was maybe up to 500kilotons so even that much would have been significant.  The first atomic bombs were "only" around 10-20kiltotons.
