I'm unclear, so please clarify. I'm seeing a big difference in the way ESA (european space agency) specifies the object width/diameter and the way this Italian university shows it.

Here's a conversion site: [link to www.convertunits.com] put in .003741 and you get about 280,000 miles. That's BIG. But on the ESA site it says the estimated diameter is 160 m (I'm assuming meters) which makes it very small, like 500 feet. So who knows. Anyone have a different source for these numbers? That's NOT the physical width of the asteroid (the fact that it's different for each close approach should have been a clue). If you don't know what you're talking about, you ought to at least attempt to research it before opening your mouth and letting everyone know that you're clueless. Instead of just assuming what width is referring to, try clicking that little "help" link if you don't know: "Stretching It indicates how much the confidence region at the epoch has been stretched by the time of the approach. This is a close cousin of the Lyapounov exponent. Width Width of the stretching." Here are the actual impact risk dates for this asteroid according to NEODyS. They're all extremely unlikely: [link to newton.dm.unipi.it] There are only a few observations of this object over less than a 24 hour period, so it's effectively a lost asteroid and it's orbit is only loosely known.
