Meteor falling in Siberia, Russia.

[CChaos]

I would have to agree that this was probably just coincidental. This same thing actually happened about two hours from where I live in rural Alberta about two years ago. That one landed in the middle of a farmer's field. That one was slightly smaller than this one and burned enough that it was about the size of a suitcase when it hit, from their analysis of the crater size.

With this one, they said it was a shallow, long descent instead of straight down, thus the damage was far less but spread over a wider area.

Here's the lead story on the Christian Science Monitor, one of the first papers I've seen so far with an in-depth article. OP, feel free to add this to the original post if you want.
