No not Maxwell Smart, but something called 2005 YU55, an asteroid.
On Tuesday night it will pass by the earth at a ditance of 300,000 kms, the closest for any notable rock since the mid 70's.

"If 2005 YU55 were to plow into the home planet, it would blast out a crater four miles across and 1,700 feet deep, according to Melosh’s calculations. Think a magnitude-7 earthquake and 70-foot-high tsunami waves."
