I would say that ‘blew past’ is more descriptive.

One light year = 5.8 TRILLION MILES

One light year = 63241 AU’s

This thing allegedly came within .8 light year.

That is a little over 50,000 times the distance from the Sun to the Earth.

By my calculations, that is close enough to make a small child emit a very loud "Mom! He touched me!"
