Marco, List, That's the best explanation for this crater that I've heard so far.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Observed Over Spain
http://rt.com/news/185992-fireball-spain-sky-meteor/ Great balls of fire: Meteor illuminates Spanish skyline (VIDEO) rt.com Published time: September 08, 2014 16:18 Edited time: September 09, 2014 07:01 Early risers got an unexpected treat on Sunday in Spain, as a fireball whistled across the country - lighting up the morning sky. It passed through eight regions, traveling the length of the country, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake. The Spanish Meteor Network confirmed the fireball had passed over the country; however, they did not know where it had originated, the Local reported. It was also visible over Barcelona; however, not everyone would have managed to catch a glimpse as it passed over at 6.55am. Just under a year and a half ago, another fireball streaked across the Spanish capital Madrid. The celestial display was so bright it could be seen across the entire country. The eye-popping moment was caught on camera by the Hita Observatory at the University of Huelva at around 11:45pm local time (21:45 GMT). The object struck the atmosphere above the Villamuelas district in the province of Toledo, southwest of Madrid. Fireballs are caused by meteors burning up as they enter Earth's atmosphere. They travel at incredibly high speeds, up to 73km per second. Fireballs tend to be brighter than meteors, while especially bright fireballs such as the one over Spain on Sunday are often called bolides. In February 2013, Russia's Urals region was rocked by a meteorite explosion in the stratosphere. The impact wave damaged several buildings, while 1,200 people in Chelyabinsk had to seek medical attention. --- http://www.ibtimes.co.in/mass-ufo-scare-burning-meteorite-hits-spanish-skies-608700 Mass UFO Scare as Burning Meteorite Hits Spanish Skies By Minnie Nair International Business Times September 9, 2014 Panic and fear spread among residents and holiday makers in Barcelona when a burning meteorite was mistaken for a UFO. According to a report in Standard Media, hundreds of residents called up emergency services, while social media sites were abuzz with pictures and panicky messages after a meteorite lit up the Spanish skies with a trail of fire. While many mistook the meteorite for an alien intervention, some others thought it was a burning plane. The moments replicated the fall of a meteorite in Russia last year. In that incident, the burning meteorite had created moments of fear and confusion as it exploded with a loud bang, which created vibrations that left a few buildings damaged. The meteor crashed on Russia's Ural Mountains, injuring at least 950 people, leaving them with cuts and bruises. The places which reported the sighting are: Barcelona, Aragan, Castilla-La Manch, Castilla y Lean, Valencia, AndalucAa and Extremadura. The meteorite was also recorded by the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet). "We think the meteorite may have flown over more areas of the country including Aragon, however, because it was pretty cloudy there we believe it may have been widely missed, and was only spotted when it emerged over a clear area that included Barcelona," the report quoted Spanish astrophysicist Jose Maria Trigo as saying. "But nevertheless, it has been made easier thanks to all the social media video footage and pictures", Trigo added. While it is believed that the meteorite did not completely burn down and has certainly touched the surface of the earth, the crash location is yet to be discovered. According to Trigo, the very size of the meteorite determined that it could not completely burn down, before touching base on earth. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Opportunity's Vista Includes Long Tracks
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-304 Mars Rover Opportunity's Vista Includes Long Tracks Jet Propulsion Laboratory September 09, 2014 >From a ridgeline viewpoint, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity recently recorded a scene looking back over its own tracks made from nearly half a mile (more than 700 meters) of southbound driving. Opportunity's panoramic camera (Pancam) recorded the component images on Aug. 15, 2014, from an elevated portion of the west rim of Endeavour Crater. A brief video places the scene into context with the rover's entire driving route of more than 25 miles (40 kilometers) since the mission's 2004 landing in the Meridiani Planum region of Mars. The video is online at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/?id=1325 The Pancam image in approximate true color is available at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA18604 The Opportunity mission has been investigating outcrops on the western rim of Endeavour Crater for three years. The crater spans 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. During Opportunity's first decade on Mars and the 2004-to-2010 career of its twin, Spirit, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Project yielded a range of findings proving wet environmental conditions on ancient Mars -- some very acidic, others milder and more conducive to supporting life.

Hi Marco: your hypothesis is far more reasonable than a meteorite-caused impact pit. --Rob -Original Message- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Marco Langbroek via Meteorite-list Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2014 12:01 AM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] A Managua, Nicaragua meteorite? 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.
