Original Message Chelyabinsk was very near the "top" of the globe of Earth as observed from above the solar system at the time of this hit. Sunrise has just occurred, it was a month from equinox and it's at 55 deg. north, so the tilt of Earth puts it up there.

If a small piece of DA14 split and entered the Earth's atmosphere from the Sun-side, but from the south, by the time it gets pulled into the Urals it has curved around to the top of the globe where it finally hits. The final angle seems to be plausible.

Check this with a globe and imagine a piece rounding the sun-side of earth from a generally south direction. It comes over the artic ocean before hitting Chely.
