Kevin, List,

It looks a great deal like the Carancas
crater, although it's a little smaller,
about 80% of its size. The test would be:
are there meteorites scattered about?

Good photo (official Army photo) found
here:

-capital-managua-20140908-10dsqo.html
and
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/09/07/meteorite-strikes-nicaragua/15
262973/
and some film from Russia:

They are sweeping with metal detectors,
but only on the well-worn pathway, not
in the grass!

Team Meteorite:

There appears a photo of an alleged meteorite crater in the news just a few
moments ago.

It's being well-guarded by armed Sandinista's.

Does anyone beside Nica jefe Daniel Ortega think this looks like a met
crater?
