Meteor would have had similar effects, blast area, flash etc.
I would agree except for the video that shows something resembling a fire on the ground. I also note that people had enough time to take out their cameras and begin shooting video, something not likely if on a couple of seconds long had taken place.
In that instance the big ball of fire could be the first thing they would see, what with cloud cover and all.
At least that is my reasoning.
Too bad the meteor didn’t land on the White House .....purifying it from the Obola evil staunch !!!
