IMHO, this is another bogus report, just like the one "confirmed" one from several months ago.

On checking the USGS Real Time Earthquakes plot for Google Earth (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/kml.php) there have been NO earthquakes in Colombia that were magnitude 1 or larger in the past week.

An impact event that would cause the production of a crater this size would show up on the earthquake plot.
