According to the ST4v ephemeris, peak brightness was 12.9 magnitude on May 25 1000 EDT when Re was 23.9k km. The MP was in Aquila moving at 66.9"/sec.
According to CNEOS the close approach occurred on May 25 at 1505 UT at 17.426k km (0.00012 AU). The 'Rarity' of this pass was a 2.
This would have been a pretty impressive close approach if you could find it.
