Minor planet 1994 GV was observed during only three days but it passed near the Earth and ran over the 28-degree arc on the sky. The orbit of this minor planet crosses the Earth orbit in the descending node. It appeared that according to this nominal orbit determined from the three-day observation arc, a very close approach of the asteroid to the Earth to within 0.000114 a.u. could happen in April 2008. However, our investigations of 600 randomly selected orbits as well as a search of the impact orbit excluded a possibility of a collision of 1994 GV with the Earth.
