I have seen two NEOs, and keep watching for new ones that might become bright on spaceweather.com.
The first was 2012 DA14 on 2013 Feb 15 when it missed Earth by around 20,000 miles. It was amazing to see it shooting across the sky, crossing the field of view of my telescope in less than two minutes.
The other was 2004 BL86 in 2015, which is about 1000 feet across and missed Earth by 3 lunar distances.
