A 1,000 foot wide stone will pass close by. Only some 20,000 miles away...
An artist's impression:  And here being compared to something known:  "...this past week about 30 impact scientists, communications professionals, policy-makers, social scientists, and science reporters came together in Boulder, Colorado, to explore the "what ifs" were a near-Earth object (NEO) to threaten Earth for real."

Was the meeting about this large rock intentionally held at, ahem, Boulder.
 A big bad-dum-tish! to the organiser.

The pic with the rock over the aircraft carrier almost minimizes what it can do.
The velocity it could theoretically hit with is what could kill us. Hopefully it hits on land, ocean strikes are much more catastrophic globally. 7 billion people. We could use a culling.
