Hi there,
       
       It certainly looks like a meteor crater. The journalist simply does 
not know what he is talking about. A meteorite may stay cold when it comes in 
through the atmosphere, but a few tons of rock will generate a huge amount of 
heat when it impacts the Earth at 40 km / sec.  Not all meteorites contain iron.

       Regards,

       Chris Chapman
