If you are talking about nuclear bombs, then perhaps a "near miss" would be just as deadly as a direct hit. However, if you are talking in astronomical terms then calling an asteroid's path as it passes 100,000 miles from the Earth, closer than the Moon BTW, a "near miss" seems quite appropriate. It certainly missed the Earth, and the Moon. It was a near miss...
