Although it is reported that it will not collide with Earth the experts are not able to determine what the object is. The object was first sighted at the Skylive-Grove Creek Observatory in Australia.
Astronomers say the object that is 33 to 50 feet wide at most may be space junk or it could be a tiny asteroid, too small to cause damage even if it hit.
NASA says that on Wednesday at 7:47 a.m. EST, it will streak by, missing Earth by about 80,000 miles. In the western United States it may be bright enough to be seen with a quality amateur telescope.
