Skull Asteroid On Its Way

Talk about pareidolia...

A very small (1/2 mile diameter) asteroid shaped like a human skull is predicted to make a pass by Earth around Holloween of 2018.

But don't worry, it doesn't mean doom. It's shouldn't get closer than 100 Earth-Moon distances.

Back in 2015 it passed about 1 1/2 Earth-Moon distance away, which is when it was imaged.
