    (164207) 2004 GU9 is a small near-Earth asteroid in the Apollo asteroid family. It will be a quasi-satellite of Earth until around 2600.[3]

    On 14 April 2004 (with less than a 1-day observation arc), the Sentry Risk Table showed 180 virtual impactors.[4] It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table 2 days later on 16 April 2004.[5] (164207) 2004 GU9 now has a well determined orbit with an observation arc of 12 years.
