<< << Has anyone heard or seen the report from Littlerock AK area about a 
firey 
  crash on thursday nite/ friday morn between 10PM and 12 AM ? it set fire to 
  a 2 mile strip of land and EMA (local FEMA) and police / fire etc all 
  responded. Local news crews were present as well. there appears to be a 
news 
  blackout  on this. Several witnesses stated there was a fireball at the 
time 
  and a tremendous explosion. Included in the witnesses statements was a 
  flourescent trail left by the object. ? Anyone have a clue as to this 
  report?? Thanks. >>



I would bet my last dollar that there is no meteorite here. Meteorites leave 
craters but no fires, especially a 2 mile strip.  
The Arkansas Emergency Management filed the following report:

INCIDENT # 0312 MISCELLANEOUS EXPLOSION.....ADVISED VIA NAWAS AT 11:22PM BY 
PULASKI CO SO THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE PLANE CRASH NEAR THE COMMUNITY OF 
SCOTT IN SOUTHERN PULASKI CO. IT WAS REPORTED THAT SOMEONE HEARD A LARGE 
EXPLOSION. INFORMED SDO AND CALLED L COORD. AT 11:39 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM L 
COORD WHO SAID THAT FD ON THE SCENE ADVISED IT WAS A FIRE ONLY, NOT A DOWNED 
AIRCRAFT. AT 11:43PM VIA NAWAS LITTLE ROCK CENTRAL ADVISED THAT ASP AIR-ONE 
WAS ON IT'S WAY TO CHECK THE SCENE FOR THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION. LONOKE, 
SCOTT AND ENGLAND FIRE DEPTS ARE ON THE SCENE AS WELL AS LONOKE PD AT ALLISON 
LOOP ROAD OFF OF ALLISON ROAD OFF HIGHWAY 161 S OF SCOTT. AT 11:51 ADVISED
