science versus myth

October 7 2008, an Air France-KLM airliner saw an asteroid exploding several kilometers above the ground. The plane was 1,400 kilometers away.
The pilot and crew saw at the estimated time 2 or 3 light pulses which lasted 1.5 seconds. More about this event on eumetsat.

What did people on the ground in Northern Sudan and Arabia see from the spectacle in the sky? Nothing? It can't be. It happened at 02.45 UTC, early in the morning local time. I don't think nobody saw it.

How do they explain the event? Will this be the basis of a new myth?
It might that people who don't know anything about world economy will link this event with drying up of the help of NGOs and UNHCR.
