It's interesting that spaceweather.com just came out with this announcement.

METEORITE SKEPTICISM: Reports are circulating of a meteorite strike in Nicaragua on Sunday, Sept. 7th.
Because the timing coincides with the flyby of asteroid 2014 RC, some reporters have suggested a link.
We are skeptical. The crater outside Managua looks more like it was dug by a backhoe than excavated
by a high-energy meteoritic explosion. Also, no streak of light corresponding to a meteor was actually observed.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

It kind confirms that our governments are the ones coming up with the wildest conspiracy theories.

Also from spaceweather:

MORE ASTEROID NEWS: Now that 2014 RC has passed, another even weirder
asteroid
is approaching Earth's neighborhood. 2002 CE26 is a binary asteroid consisiting
of a primary space rock 3.5 km in diameter and a secondary approximately one-tenth as
wide. What's weird is, radar data suggest that the secondary space rock might have a moon of its own.

At closest approach on Sept. 9th, 2002 CE26 will be 18.4 million km (0.123 AU) from Earth.
That is relatively far away, but because of the asteroid's large size, it is still possible to obtain
meaningful data from the flyby. NASA astronomers will be pinging the system using the Goldstone
radar in the Mojave desert. The Goldstone team says "we should be able to get coarse-resolution
images of the primary. Echoes from the secondary will be weak and on the edge of detectability."
