When is a near miss?

When is passing another aircraft considered a near miss?

I was on Jet2.com LS810 from AGP to MAN on saturday, and at one point a small passenger jet passed to the starboard going in the opersite direction.

As a passenger with no expectation of seeing another aircraft zip past so close, have no idea how far away horizontally or vertically they were, only that they were a little below us and, since I could see the whole thing complete with grubby grey jet exhausts (for all of a second, from my aisle), not going to hit us.
