On 2 March 2018, at 05:54 UT, this object passed Earth at a nominal distance of 0.29 LD (0.00075 AU) which corresponds to a distance of 112,600 kilometres (70,000 miles).
The object also approached the Moon at a similar distance of 133,300 km (82,800 mi) the day before.
It was the 18th known asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance (LD) since the start of 2018 and 6th closest.
Five days earlier, a similar object, 2018 DU, came within 175,000 miles (284,000 km).
However, the two encounters were unrelated and neither of them represent any hazard to the Earth (also see List of asteroid close approaches to Earth in 2018 § List).
