Hi all, I read in todays Advertiser (SA newspaper) that the 'meteorite'
ricochet into the near by forest. If the crater actually was a low
angle impact like the Murnpeowie iron IC, I would have assumed the
impact pit/ trench would have been more elongated? I have seen no

It is well known that arms caches were hidden in Nicaragua during the fight
between Sandinista's and Contra's in the 80-ies. In 1993, one of these exploded
in Managua. Maybe something like that happened again.

Rob and Marco, I agree, sounds very plausible. However, if you read
what CNN has to say, they've already determined it's from a meteorite

0% chance this is a meteorite. Not one report of fireball in any Spanish

want to save face by blaming a meteorite fall.

Yes, CNN didn't want to be left off the list of big news networks whose top
anchors
reported the impact sic on their prime-time broadcasts last night. And they
made
sure to include asteroid 2014 RC as the culprit, showing their dedication to
quality science
reporting. ;-) --Rob

That meteorite is an expensive door stop. I am surprised Heritage would
try to sell that if it hasnnt be analyzed and put into the meteorite
