Sunday, October 25th, 2009: a UFO crashed into the Latvian countryside. The event is making headlines in all the Baltic nation’s news outlets. It is assumed that the UFO was probably a meteorite, however this has not been confirmed. The incident occurred in the vicinity of the northern town of Mazsalaca near Latvia’s border with Estonia. At around 5:30pm the State Fire and Rescue Service received a call alerting them to a fire in field. When they arrived they found a smoking crater 20 meters in diameter and 5 meters in depth.
The Latvian Radiation Centre and the army took measurements of radiation at the site of impact and noted radioactivity at slightly higher than normal levels. Speculation over what the object might have been is running hot on Latvian internet forums. While many think the object was probably a meteorite, the authorities have suggested that it may have been space junk. Needless to say the possibility of it being a UFO of alien origin has been raised: Most regard this possibility as unlikely.

I have to say that it does look very odd. Haven't seen anything like this ever before.

i'd say it's just a meteorite, seeing the crater, and the fractured burning rocks.
