How could anything get close enough to hit the Sun? Wouldn’t anything (a big old rock, a planet-sized whatever, a Rocket Ship, a Mini Van?) burn up well before it could hit it?

But, yes - that WOULD put the upcoming Solar Eclipse to shame - and then, that would be All She Wrote for us! :)

Not if it happened at night.

I doubt it would be noticeable even with instruments. Scaled, the collision would be approximately the equivalent of an object the size of the head of a pin hitting something like an aircraft carrier or the Hoover dam.
