This "crater" was dug by a small backhoe, probably using an attachment on a larger garden tractor and done in the middle of the night (photo below.) It would only take about 5 minutes to dig this small hole. Diameter of crater is about the maximum reach for a backhoe on a small tractor.

(See figure below) Red area shows bucket scoop footprint. A ordinary shovel does not leave this kind of mark. Tractor was located just beyond the yellow area at the 7:00 position. Blue area shows less dirt than yellow area, as a result of the bucket pulling dirt toward machine when it digs.
 
Angles of sides of bucket footprint (red area and corners of excavation) appear to show machine was at 7:00 position. Bucket sides on backhoes always radiate outward from the pivot point on the attachment, making location of the machine easy (light blue lines.) Chunkier material is grouped together in the yellow area, which is where most of the dirt is piled. Right-angled corners and grouped dirt are highly unlikely to happen if something "blasted" itself out of the ground.
 
 
Absence of metals from tests also confirms this was not an impact crater.
 
 
 
This is just a hoax.
