Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 420 km diameter of 2002 Kx14. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the original predicted path from 2011 that was in OW.
Clearly that prediction was out of date, probably as the orbit of 2002 Kx14 had been refined.
