Meteorite leaves crater in Nicaraguan capital Managua

A small meteorite landed near the international airport in the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, on Saturday night, government officials say.

Residents reported hearing a loud bang and feeling the impact, which left a crater 12m (40ft) wide and 5m deep.

Government spokeswoman Rosario Murillo said the meteorite seemed to have broken off an asteroid which was passing close to Earth.

She said international experts had been called in to investigate further.

No-one was hurt when it hit the wooded area near the international airport and an air force base.

Stupid Nicaraguans. Who else would create a crater just so a meteorite could leave?

Russian artillery. Putin has gone too far this time.

It was meant to hit New Zealand.

These aliens have really bad aim.

Anti-gravity there maybe Hermit, you think?

Nothing as unlikely as that. Meteorites are evil. The only thing they can think of is the destruction of humankind. This one, fortunately got trapped while attempting to execute the plan. The stupid Nicaraguans dug a crater around it and let it escape. Mark my words. It will be back. The end is nigh!

Ah - a Scrumple meteor!
