For the first time an asteroid has been found that follows a

made its closest approach to Earth (15 million miles) which must
have been on Oct 14. It will never come this way again.

the object needs a new designation as it does not orbit the Sun,
just passing through.
An Alien Asteroid?
A Migrant Asteroid?
Go back to your Solar System!
Well, actually, it is interesting, and provides much hope to get some
news on what is out of the Solar System.
It is like the Stranger and the Unknown: opportunities to learn.
