Some people are claiming the meteorite was shot down. I described what happend several years a go after watching a meteorite that fell over Colorado . As the meteorite approaches the earth it breaks up from earths gravity into several pieces traveling the same path. as the leading piece is slowed down by the atmosphere, its wake creates a vacume that allows the trailing pieces to catch up an impact the leading piece, and if the trailing pieces are big enough they impact hard enough to make everything blow up.
    There are several utube videos that show this happening. heres one.
