Meteorite meets the desert...And leaves no crater?

No crater at Tungusta, but lots of scorched trees.
OTOH there was a huge impact at Manon Ohio and there is no visible crater there, now.

And leaves no crater? A couple thousand years in the desert - a small crater would be gone.

Large meteors with low metal content explode before reaching the ground. The energy released in such events can exceed that of the most powerful nuclear weapons; this is the leading theory for the Tunguska explosion.
