Deboarh and List,
Speaking of similar stories: A genuine fireball was report on Nov 22,
1996. On December 15, 1996, Associated Press issued a report entitled
"Meteorite blasts 165-foot-wide crater in Honduras". An expedition in
Feb. 1997 (http://www.astro.cz/~borovic/honduras.htm) found landslides
but no crater and no verifiable meteorite. And then in 2002 -

I will let the experts here debate this but, from the very beginning,
I thought this story sounded familiar. In December 1997, the Internet
was rife with rumours of a huge meteorite crashing in Greenland. As
the days and the weeks went on, the size of the meteorite was
considerably downsized and then it was confirmed there was a bright
flash but no impact. See the url below.
I'm just wondering if we are not dealing with something like this this
time around as well.
Just my very humble .02 CAN
