The meteorobs guys are highly suspicious that this had anything to do with a meteor.
Fireballs are reported every day all over the world that don't cause known craters. No visible meteor was reported with this one (it should have been ONE HECK of a visual). It is also in the neighborhood of a military base AND in a country where a lot of ordinance was used in a civil war not that many years ago. I'm sure it would be in the government's interests to explain away an explosion (to the public) as a meteorite, as opposed to much more likely causes.
