Meteors are pretty hard to track. Even a “planet killer” asteroid could be missed.

Its funny you mentioned an asteroid (or comet) hitting Earth and causing widespread destruction and loss of life. It will be unstoppable, no hollywood fiction will come to the rescue. It will happen at least twice in the future.
