I put the terminal explosion at a height of 86 km, and 10 km northeast of
Penrose. If any material survived it would have continued a few kilometers
(or less) in the flight direction, and then would have started blowing to
the southeast. High altitude winds were blowing at ~30 m/s, and the debris
had a long way to fall. On the map at
http://www.cloudbait.com/science/fireball20081206.html , the arrow at the
end of the path is the point of the terminal explosion.
