Sodom and Gomorrah hit by an asteroid?

Looks like an ancient assyrian astronomer made some observations of an asteroid hitting the area where Sodom and Gomorrah are believed to have existed. There's always the obvious caveat that there is no proof that Sodom and Gomorrah existed in the location that was hit, just like there is the possibility that these ruins are not really Hittite, but are rather some far-sighted creation of the ancient Israelis to bolster the faith of their progeny by fabricating the existence of the Hittite Empire.
