Rich Kowalski at Catalina has found a "flying couch" asteroid
that will be coming to within 2 Earth radii in a few days. The
object will be bright (around mag 10) and favorably located in
the evening sky worldwide.
Details are publicly available at:

Remember that the ephemeris shown on this MPEC is likely to be
substantially in error at the time of closest approach, enough
that you won't be able to find it. So you'll need to get updated
elements/ephemerides nearer to Nov 13 UT. Remarkably for such an
object, we have 4+ days lead time.
