2009 KC3 it's a asteroid of around 1 Km in diameter with a MOID of
0.00967772 AU and with an very like comet orbit, the 1 and 2 September
2009 shall be of 15.4a and the 24 and 25 August shall be at 0.049 U.A.

http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2009+KC3+&orb=1
at today the object it's only an asteroid but if it's a dormient comet
at the end of August this year we can to have an outburst (probably
little) of slow meteors.
The orbit it's calculated from an arc of only 20 days, then can change
a little.
In a similar orbit there is too an other asteroid without link with the
first:
2008 OB9, it has a like comet orbit and a MOID of 0.0062304 AU
around 13-14 October.
The 5 october 2014 it shall be in the same place where shall be the
Earth 8-9 days after. Too 2008 OB9 has an 1 km diameter and
can to produce a meteor shower.
Mark your calendar on this dates.
Best greetings.
