Newton is Newton and orbital mechanics are orbital mechanics. To change course something would have to influence it via gravity or striking it, and anything large enough to do that is probably known. And if something did change it the ways it can be changed to be further from earth are vastly larger than the few ways it could be changed to hit earth. Highly unlikely in other words.
