Meteor impacts happen way more frequently than you might realize... and they hit Earth all the time too. :)
Heck, last year we had a notable meteor come down where I live in Michigan.
Obviously though... having significantly more people watching the moon at the time lends itself to this kind of thing being a lot more likely to be noticed.
