NASA scientists will be tracking asteroid 2005 YU55

Quote from the article:

The trajectory of asteroid 2005 YU55 is well understood. At the point of closest approach, it will be no closer than 201,700 miles (324,600 kilometers) or 0.85 the distance from the moon to Earth. The gravitational influence of the asteroid will have no detectable effect on anything here on Earth, including our planet's tides or tectonic plates.

NASA gives an simulation of YU55, I created another one some time ago that is more clear in the second part of the clip.
You see that it never gets close to Earth. Hoaxers like to show views from above so it appears to get close, while in reality there are 3 dimensions. In this case YU55 moves above the Earth-Moon plane.

Hoaxers like the art of deception, and then they claim that NASA gives disinformation, but the hoaxers get away with that.

"Although 2005 YU55 is in an orbit that regularly brings it to the vicinity of Earth" I thought it wasn't in earths plane? Are they sure this asteroid has no chance of an impact? Im sorry…..for asking again and again, its just that I want to see if you guys are still with this.

No, it 'cnat'.

At its closest approach, it comes nowhere near us.

No.
