OK, 1,600 close encounters every week.

And how many collisions each week? Didn't see mentioning any, so none.

So this "close encounters" seem as dangerous as the close encounters anytime I drive on highway, or even less.

Pure FUD

Close encounters are a proxy for risk of collisions. Such as correctable bitflips are a proxy for the risk of corrupted data in ECC RAM.
