As reported on this MPEC:
Below you can see one of the discovery images of 2014 AA. The asteroid is the streak just left of center, surrounded by the purple circle.It is virtually certain that 2014 AA hit the Earth's atmosphere on 2014 Jan. 2.2 +/- 0.4, as demonstrated by independent calculations by Bill Gray, the MPC and Steve Chesley (JPL). According to Chesley, the impact locations are widely distributed, most likely falling on an arc extending from Central America to East Africa, with a best-fit location just off the coast of West Africa on Jan. 2.10. 2014 AA was unlikely to have survived atmospheric entry intact, as it was comparable in size to 2008 TC3, the only other example of an impacting object observed prior to atmospheric entry.
Below you can see the two maps of the possible impact region made by Bill Gray.
These maps are based on half-arcsecond Monte Carlo noise. The corresponding impact times and locations are listed here.
The animation made by Pasquale Tricarico shows the Earth as observed from the asteroid 2014 AA, using the nominal orbit solution. In the background are visible the Sun and the Moon. The asteroid approaches the Earth from the night side, and enters Earth's shadow cone at approximately 01:45 UT of January 2, approximately 40 minutes before entering the Earth's atmosphere.
This is only the second time in history that an impacting object is observed prior to atmospheric entry. The first time it happened was with asteroid 2008 TC3. For more info about 2008 TC3 see our 2008 posts here:

To anyone visiting Tuscon, AZ, see if you can gain access to the Planetary Science Institute. I was fortunate to visit this organization 3 years ago and listen to a lecture by Hartmann with some input by Pasquale on Aphophis. It was interesting to hear how concerned this young man was about this NEO's 2d pass just as the news media was beginning to dismiss the threat level from same object. I wonder what the Institute's official line on this NEO is today since I am sure that the media never gives us the true story about anything. Hopefully for all of us, the threat has indeed diminished; but I'll believe this when I actually hear it from the experts who are studying this and other NEOs as their life work.
