A Meteorite crashed to Earth Sunday afternoon, in Central America.

The crater, located in the capital city of Nicaragua, is about 60 feet / 20 meters across, located near the international airport.

Sunday September 7th just also happened to be the day Asteroid 2014RC was making its close pass by earth.

"NASA said that it was just ‘coincidence’ that the huge Russian meteor hit the day 2012 DA14 passed by Earth at just 17,000 miles distance."

Since science does not consider electrical stress to be a significant force on an asteroid, their calculations tell them that it is improbable for a piece of that asteroid to be nearby when it passes close to the earth...
