What if, the one that passed us was really on a collision course and we detonated something near it to divert it causing it break apart and loose some of it's to Earth's gravity. Perhaps the news about it would have destabilized the worlds civilization and we were made to believe it passed us by and the effort to avert is was kept completely hidden.
I don't believe any of what I just said, lol, but I had fun thinking it up.
