I saw that this morning on my morning website look. Here is the big thing, look at the time frame those few asteroids were close to Earth. If you look carefully you see one did hit the Earth.

What color is your target? Mine is blue.

Remember, its a 2d representation. Ones that looked real close could have passed over or under us. This is why they were color coded. Also, it states that none passed within the orbit of the moon.

Anyways... I've got my hard hat... I'm good for falling rocks.
