Original Note:
There is no risk of asteroid 2023 BU impacting Earth. Even if it were on a collision course, this asteroid is small enough (estimated at 11.5 to 28 feet across) that it would disintegrate harmlessly in the atmosphere. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-system-predicts-small-asteroid-to-pass-close-by-earth-this-week
