I went with years there to be safe as I'm uncertain about what the detection levels are like for planet-killer sized asteroids. I know we discover house-sized ones passing between us and the Moon after they whiz by.

No detection. Who's looking? Many are found by amateurs, as you say, after they whiz by.
