Mots likely non whatsoever.

What I see on that website is a message without a clear reliable source, URL's 
that reference what is a gasline explosion (not an impact) and a video with 
someone (a "Dr Bill Deagle", who is a known conspiracy crackpot) referencing 
(with a mistaken tone of authority) an "impact" in Mexico last year that was at 
that time quickly shown to haven't occurred at all.
Also, one of the other vids on that URL shows an aircraft with sun-illuminated 
contrail, nothing asteroid/meteorite related.

I also see the susual "it has been covered up" nonsense that in itself is a dead 
give-away that you shouldn't take it seriously.

Rule of thumb:

1) When it's on the internet, and spectacular but without mentioning a clear 
source of *proven reliability*, it's usually sensationalistic rubbish;

2) when claims of "cover-ups" are involved in it, it is rubbish.
