I doubt it very much. Interesting how every time there's a report of a
meteorite starting fires, it's from some remote, primitive place.

Would that be the same Cambodia in which a cloud of gnats surrounding a
small shrub was mistaken for smoke, causing word to spread that a bush
was burning, yet was not consumed, and drawing tree worshipers from far
and wide? And that, friends, is not the strangest thing that I have
witnessed in Cambodia.

Agreed. If a metorite had any involvement here, it probably impacted
on or near one of the many land mines remaining in Cambodia, thereby
setting the "blaze."

It's like how hicks always seem to be the ones spotting UFOs.
