Earth Meteorite flies only 14 000 kilometers higher than the Earth's outside


Recently, a newly discovered meteorite, 2012 KT42, flew past Earth at only 14,000 miles above the surface of our planet, so flying within the belt of geosynchronous satellites.
According to the orbit of this asteroid, fortunately there was no danger of collision, despite its proximity to Earth.
Moreover, in any case, due to its small size would probably have disintegrated upon entering our atmosphere.
