Collision with 2023 CX1
#1
We collided with this MP last night. CNEOS lists the close approach at  2023-Feb-13 03:07 ± < 00:01 UT at 3498 km distant. It was first observed at GINOP-KHK, Piszkesteto on 2023-02-12. The MPC shows 300 observations after discovery.

According to Wikipedia: 2023 CX1, previously known as Sar2667, was a metre-sized asteroid or meteoroid that entered Earth's atmosphere on 13 February 2023 03:00 UTC and disintegrated as a meteor over the English Channel near Normandy, France. [5]

This MP was listed on the CNEOS website yesterday, but wasn't included in the MPC's NEAs at Today's Epoch datafile either yesterday or today. It is listed on their main page as having a close approach distance of 0.01 lunar distances (LD). CNEOS lists 0.009 LD.

I waited a bit to search as I had followed the story on MPML.
Those guys stay on top of this subject. I can't keep up.
