It's not impossible. How closely were we tracking 3 km objects in 1983?

The US and USSR were looking very closely for much smaller objects leaving and entering the atmosphere.
True, but are they finding them - especially the ones on the sun side of our orbit? Remember, this one was found by an amateur. Now, NASA is claiming authority for it.
