NEO 2026 RG skims ~1.32 LD — Apollo NEO, not on Sentry
NASA JPL CNEOS lists near-Earth object 2026 RG at a nominal Earth-center distance of 0.003396 au on 5 September 2026 at 10:44 TDB (~1.32 lunar distances). Relative velocity is about 12.40 km/s; absolute magnitude H = 27.544. JPL SBDB classifies it as an Apollo-class NEO with PHA flag false (43 observations, 1-day data arc at solution time, condition_code 7). The Sentry API returns object not found. This is a cataloged close approach, not an impact forecast. There is no official Earth impact location — map pin assumed at NASA JPL CNEOS, Pasadena.

Note
CAD distances and times are from the official NASA/JPL SBDB Close Approach Data API. PHA status is an orbit-class label about proximity and size criteria, not a prediction that this object will hit Earth. 2026 RG is listed PHA false. Sentry API: object not found.
Doom Signals does not invent miss distances or impact corridors. Close approach is not an impact forecast, and there is no official Earth impact location for this object. Map pin is assumed at NASA JPL CNEOS, Pasadena — interpretation, not an impact site.
- CAD: 2026 RG · 0.003396 au · ~1.32 LD · 2026-Sep-05 10:44 TDB
- Apollo NEO; PHA false; Sentry object not found
- Not an impact; pin assumed at JPL/CNEOS Pasadena
- Closer than boarded 2026 RD (~2.7 LD Sep 6)
Why it matters
Closest same-day CAD flyby in the Sep 5–12 window — nearer than boarded 2026 RD (~2.7 LD Sep 6). Small H~27.5 class. Close approach is not an impact. OH3 remains the upcoming PHA headline for Sep 11. Assumed map pin at JPL/CNEOS Pasadena — no official Earth impact location.
