Possible DA14-small over Chely. scenario. Check the angles.
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.

When articles say "coming from the sun-side" that is just the last part of the path viewers are seeing.

I don't know what kind of resolution they got for images of DA-14 but they might be able to discern the spot where something had recently "broke off".

This is ONLY at about 30 degree incline to the earth-sun plane, so coming over the arctic just go easier.

Closest approach appears to be over Bay of Bengal on this animation.

Now, if a piece of this was on the other side coming in, that would take it over the arctic and to the Urals easy enough...!

Check out the side view animation (scroll down more).

We have been led to believe this was coming in from the south pole, it did not, came in only at a 30 degree to earth-sun plane, when earth tilt is factored in maybe about 50 degrees to eq plane.

no es posible

The Chebarkul meteor came from the general direction of the sun.

Their trajectories are in almost opposite directions of each other

DA14 came in behind the Earth from the sun and curved in Earth's gravity and ending headed towards the sun.

If you look at the direction DA14 left in the above pic, thats fairly close to the direction that the Chebarkul meteor came from.

So no, they are completely unrelated.

If youre suggesting in any way that the Chebarkul meteor orbited the Earth - No it was traveling way too fast for that. It would have had a small curve at the last bit of its travel, but not much.
