2016 EU85 is an astronomical object that is currently rated at level 0[1] after being rated at level 1 on the Torino Scale by the NEODyS system.[2] It was upgraded to level 1 on 25 March 2016[3] but downgraded on the 30 March 2016. On the Sentry system it did not cross the threshold between the two levels, due to a lower computed impact probability. The asteroid is estimated to have a diameter of 440 metres (1,440 ft; 480 yd) and had an arc of 9 days.[4]

There is a 0.001200000% chance or a 1 in 83,000 chance of the asteroid colliding with the Earth. There is a 99.99880000% chance the asteroid will miss the Earth[5] The 2016 EU85 asteroid was observed 14 times[6] at the observatories 568 Mauna Kea, 705 Apache Point, F51 Pan-STARRS 1 Haleakala and H01 Magdalena Ridge Observatory, Socorro.[7]
