The closest it is expected to get is four lunar distances -- about 1 million miles – at approximately 9 am EST. Tracking is available on The Sky Live, which calculates that 2019 AE3 will technically be visible from New York between around 1 a.m. and 10 am.
The event is set to occur just three days after five sizeable NEOs flew by the earth on the same day...[including one] similar in size to 2019 AE3 practically skimmed it just 415,000 miles away.

71 feet? Wouldn’t that be a truck-sized asteroid?

Velocity of the object may be a little slow, so....short bus.

I first read this as “bun-sized asteroid” and envisioned a buttered Parker House roll whizzing by.

Likely won’t stop. We’re not on an asteroid bus route.

Would have to go opposite field with something moving that fast..

How many aliens can you fit in a bus? Millions if they happen to be a couple of millimeters tall.
