If the technology doesn't exist to spot the really small ones (this one being the size of a bus) how come NORAD can track every piece of space debris out there larger than 10 centimeters?

but will still pass at a distance of 59,839.2 kilometers.
Do you think, they have some sort of gravitational pull ??
59,839.2 kilometers is far away, but still close at the same time to potentially cause a disruption...
Ah so if Nibiru sneaks up on us from the south NASA and NORAD won't see it?

Nibiru (or anything else of appreciable size) can't "sneak up" on us from anywhere. The south celestial pole can be observed from the entire southern hemisphere of Earth, so it would be seen long before it got anywhere near the inner Solar System.
