Firefighters say they are still trying to determine the cause of a fire that broke out on Desert Way between Rio Rangler and Alexander Lake just before 11:00 p.m. Sunday night. Witnesses tell News 4 they saw an aircraft crash at the site of the fire, but firefighters would not say if they found any pieces of aircraft and they suspect it could have been a meteor. Firefighters say airport officials have confirmed all planes are accounted for. The fire was contained at one acre. An investigation into the cause is being conducted.
Comment: The reporter only briefly mentions it in passing, but it's pretty clear what just happened (again) in the US this summer: Reign of Fire: Meteorites, Wildfires, Planetary Chaos and the Sixth Extinction

If they'd found pieces of aircraft
you'd likely know about it - you can query crashes with the NTSB here http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/ Nothing came up in my search.

"I was in shock because I didn't know what it was and I didn't know what to believe."
Wonder if he would have recognized what it really was if he had knowledge of Earth's previous cosmic catastrophes..

A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.
