Near Earth Objects (NEOs) are asteroids or comets that come relatively close to earth. They are of special interest because of the collision hazard they pose to Earth. Meteors, while certainly close to Earth, are generally not considered NEOs.
Please submit sites here that reference specific near miss events or specific threatening objects. News hype is acceptable but keep in mind that this is a science category. Consider if one of the following categories might be more appropriate:

These observatories are dedicated almost exclusively to near Earth objects. Some conduct automated searches for new NEOs.
