Interesting!
Just some days ago I was exchanging e-mails with a specialist on meteor 
craters
on a crater field related as meteoritical origin but somebody said that it 
could to be
bomb craters of WW2, and certainly you remember the case of Hungarian crater
with an "esplosive origin": I cannot said that this crater has a bomb in 
origin but
before said "meteor crater" we must use caution and delete this possibility,
certainly if the origin it's a bomb or explosives it must to be a big one, 
around
1 tn of TNT, but the lights in the air? A rocket?
In the case that it's a meteorite it must to be more of 1 tn.
Best greetings.
