Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 134 km diameter of Eukarate. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Brian was north or south of the central line of the event. However, assuming the updated prediction was approximately correct it would suggest that the central path might lie between Brian's position and the predicted path.

Comments: The times are a combination of visual examination of the tape field by field and Limovie graphing. 
There was a suggestion of flickering just before the disappearance.  Limovie and visual examination suggests a possible blink from about 14:28:41.31 to 41.36, that is 3 fields.  Quite uncertain, possibly due to seeing.
