**Update -- Intel Hub -- RSOE EDIS is reporting that a 1,000 strong search team was tasked with finding the impact area and so far have been unable to locate it... Such a colossal event, so little media coverage. Around 3:10PM Sunday afternoon residents of Colombia were awestruck when the clear sky was cracked open by a massive fireball that exploded upon impact leaving a 300 foot wide crater and a lot of rattled nerves.

So it was reported, presumably by observers, to have left a 300 foot wide crater, but a 1,000 strong search team couldn't locate the impact area? Didn't they think of having some of those folks who measured the 300 foot wide crater give them directions?

Bucaramanga Mayor Fernando Vargas confirmed that the phenomenon was a meteorite that left a crater 100 meters in diameter when it crashed into the earth in the San Joaquin municipality in Santander.

That was in the update, and one or the other could be due to miscommunication or translation problems.
