...A small asteroid about the size of a house will fly past Earth on Sunday, US space agency Nasa says.

 

The asteroid, 2014 RC, will pass over New Zealand at around 18:18 GMT. It is about 60 ft (18 m) in size...

Ah, we can just fire nukes at the asteroids to knock them out of place. Or, if that fails, we can send a ragtag team of roughnecks up in a shuttle to blow it up from its surface...

NASA doubts that the cause of the crater was caused by a meteor or meteor fragment:

...While a meteoritic origin for this crater cannot be ruled out with absolute certainty, the information available at this time suggests that some other cause is responsible for its creation.
