Meteorite Discovered in Photograph of Nicaragua Crater

Nicaragua needs to start a PRESERVE THE CRATER CAMPAIGN before it is too late!!! Get the word out FAST!  A chance that this could be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Meteorite Discovered  in Photograph of Nicaragua Crater
text by Dirk Ross...Tokyo // photo manipulation and graphic by Carlos Bella...Brasil
published 12SEP2014 1323JST  edited 2225JST 12SEP2014
  I was searching for the past several hours for high resolution images of the recent, "Nicaragua Crater" "meteor" event 07SEP2014,  Nicaraguan crater and archiving them.
  Once they were all archived I started searching them for evidence of the source of the crater.  I was looking for metal shrapnel stuck in the trees. I have been of the opinion and have previously posted that the crater was created by a munition.
  While searching one image I found what appears to be a stony meteorite type called an Ordinary Chondrite.  The rock in question has geometry, rounded edges and a black surface which are consistent with that of a meteorite.  If it is an Ordinary Chondrite it may NOT have enough Fe/Ni metal in it to be found with a metal detector which explains why the Nicaraguan military have not yet found anything with their machines.
  One thing that is likely, the rock in question seems to be missing in all of the of the other photographs that I have examined.  I estimate that the rock/meteorite weighs 800g-1kg.  The main mass is over 500 pounds and likely up to 1 ton and remains buried below the ground.
  Upon finding this information I asked for help from Carlos Bella of Brasil to help enhance the image and to also take a look and see if I was seeing something that was not there.  Bella agrees with caution that the rock in question is not inconsistent with being a meteorite, noting the rounded edges and black surface with one small broken? area that shows the interior as being a white or light colored material. Nicaragua HAS a NEW METEORITE in their crater!?

"Nicaragua Crater" "meteor" event 07SEP2014

The reason my reporting on the "Nicaragua Crater" is slow to be posted is because it is likely NOT a crater caused by a meteorite impact. and certainly not a related meteorite from Asteroid 2014RC as they are reporting. There are NO witness reports of persons seeing a meteor prior and given the fact that it occurred near an airport leads me to conclude that it was possibly a munition or mortar shell that is responsible for the crater- LunarMeteoriteHunter, Tokyo

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
08SEP2014 Darwin Gonzalez woodbridge ontario canada 20:01:00 2 secs north to south white brighter than the moon no saw it while driving on the highway, was flying very fast and only saw it for 2 secs.

08SEP2014 Amy Harry Shippensburg, PA 8:00 p.m. eastern time approximately 4 seconds I was travelling north, saw it in northwest sky, made a vertical decent (north to south) white/yellow streak, large fireball with orange in the ball. No sound very bright, bright as sun none seen Only comment is that because it happened around dusk, in the midst of the harvest moon, I was surprised it was so visible. My daughter was with me and saw it also.

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
07SEP2014 Martin Colombet Caunes-Minervois, Aude, France 6H59 AM few seconds, disapeared behind trees facing south, on my right, going down from north to south with, no sound it was dawn time, with some light from the sun, brighter than the moon no no

07SEP2014 Henrietta Ghattas Labarthe Riviere, Haute Garonne, France 06.45 - roughly (I didn't look at the time right away) / Time Zone France , am Can't have been more than three or four seconds. Certainly felt very, very brief. I was facing south. It started high and shot down at a sharp angle, a little to the right, so travelling roughly south-south-west I'd guess. No sound. Colour: white to bright orange. Very bright - I was sitting beneath a window in an unlit room and the sudden brightness made me look up. Definitely brighter than the moon; more like a small, fast-moving, sun-bright line with a slight bulge at the leading point. Not that I noticed. The sky was very overcast at the time, and it was just light enough to make out the clouds. The meteor (if that's what it was, i've never seen one before) left a distinct vapour trail behind it.
