[meteorite-list] A Managua, Nicaragua meteorite?

[Matson, Rob D.]

Yes, CNN didn't want to be left off the list of big news networks whose top anchors
reported the impact <sic> on their prime-time broadcasts last night. And they made
sure to include asteroid 2014 RC as the culprit, showing their dedication to quality science
reporting.  ;-)  --Rob

Rob and Marco, I agree, sounds very plausible.  However, if you read what CNN has to say, they've already determined it's from a meteorite

Michael in so. Cal.
