Sky and Telescope: "Small Asteroid 2014 AA Hits Earth"
TL;DR: An asteroid discovered 01:16 UTC 1 January 2014 hit the Earth at ~02:30 UTC 2 January 2014. Luckily, it was smaller than the one over Chelyabinsk.
Of course, this won't increase funding for near-Earth asteroid detection. It didn't do any appreciable damage, after all...
