2008 JL3
2008 JL3 is a small near-Earth asteroid which is expected to fly by close to the Earth-Moon system in 2027. Its chance to collide with Earth is 1 in 6700. Its (estimated) size is 29 meters in diameter. It is the second possible object to hit Earth in this decade, which has an impact probability of greater than 1 in ten thousand. It is currently the only object with that combination of impact probability, size and closeness of impact and the only one which could (realistically) reach a Torino level of greater than zero in the near future.
Palermo number: -3.16
Threat level: low
Probability of removal from Sentry Risklist when more accurate calculations have been made: >99.98%
