At its closest, the space rock - named 2012 BX34 - passed within about 60,000km of Earth - less than a fifth of the distance to the Moon.
Only noticed on Wednesday 
Although I'm ignorantly impressed that they noticed something 36 feet in diameter that far away.

Not really, it's too small. It'd make it through the atmosphere but would be extremely likely to break up before impact.
