Yes, technically “the impact of a meteorite” would indeed be an extraterrestrial impact, but the implications of using that word are obvious, making this click bait.
i’m not comfortable with your nonchalance and complicit behavior with respect to the ancient yet ongoing and soon to become overwhelming alien bombardment we are currently facing as a planet
I was just about to start typing a comment along the lines of “come on now, you’re really stretching it thin here”. Then I took a second and realized that it really only means “not from earth” which yes, I guess any space rock is that.

Wouldn’t it only be an “extraterrestrial impact” if it didn’t occur on earth? If it happened here shouldn’t it be a terrestrial impact?
It’s an extraterrestrial object doing the impact. That’s what the headline is about, but they make it sound like aliens.
No, they didn’t. You wanted it to be.
