BMD, yes those are the 2 that I was referring to. I've been watching the CNEOS data for 2022 RM4 as they refine the time of the close approach. The error's now down to ±39 minutes from what it was on September 16 when it was ± 2 days, 21 hours, 7 minutes. Quite an improvement.
There's also (177614) 2004 HK33 that's currently estimated to be 15.7 magnitude in Octans heading for a peak brightness of 15.2 magnitude at 0.11 AU in Eridanus on October 13 at 2300 EDT. Predicted motion is 8.26"/min. I need to make a post for this one, it's almost here.
There's also 2009 HV58 which is a southern hemisphere object estimated to reach 16.5 magnitude in Octans on November 30. Its approach has a 'Rarity' of 2.
There have been quite a few NEOs discovered recently.
