2011 CQ1 is a meteoroid discovered on 4 February 2011 by Richard A. Kowalski, at the Catalina Sky Survey.[1] On the same day the meteoroid passed within 0.85 Earth radii (5,480 kilometers (3,410 mi)) of Earth's surface, and was perturbed from the Apollo class to the Aten class of near-Earth objects.[5] With a relative velocity of only 9.7 km/s,[2] had the asteroid passed less than 0.5 Earth radii from Earth's surface, it would have fallen as a brilliant fireball. The meteoroid is between 80 centimeters (31 in) and 2.6 meters (100 in) wide.[5] The meteoroid was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 5 February 2011.[6]

It was not until 2020 QG on 16 August 2020 that a non-impacting closer approach to Earth was observed.
