Chaotic? Orbit? Maybe just poor tracking comprehension.
I can imagine the same sort of cogitating is occuring, in regards to that meteor hole found down in Antartica.
Which begs the question ... since ‘the civilized world’ has a blind spot, or more precisely, a blind angle, called ‘any angular viewing direction within the Antartic Circle’, how can we track any asteroid/meteor/comet splinter coming at us from the near ‘vertical six o’ clock’ position??
-or-
“If a meteor/asteroid/comet splinter splashed into Antartica, would anyone hear it? Or, would it be ‘the guy’s fault’?”

Um, it came from the eky?

At first I misread the post and thought it said the meteor was 1.24 miles in diameter. We might all be starved, dead, and frozen from a global asteroid induced winter by now if something that size hit. The meteor was actually estimated to be about 20 meters (which is also pretty damned big as these things go) and at first thought to be a spin off from an asteroid of the near mile and a half size. What might cause a chunk to come off and somehow change trajectory into the earth’s atmosphere would be the first thing I’d ask. I don’t think astrophysics works that way in the absence of some kind of major collision. But hey, I only took astronomy and physics in college, they weren’t my major.
Preliminary meteor attack like what happened to the alien planet in THIS ISLAND EARTH.
uhhh......outer space?
