This object named 2007 HA was discovered first on April 16, 2007 by the automatiy search system Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR).

The asteroid with a size of about 300 meters passed Earth on April 17, 2007 at 04h UTC (=06 MESZ) at a close distance of 2.5 million kilometers. This distance is equivalent to 0.017 astronomical units (AU). Thus the Asteroid flew far from the Earth-Moon system and there was no danger for our planet in this flyby during the year 2007.

But it is remarkable that this object could be discovered first only few hours before the Earth fly by.
