It happens other places too. A few years ago in Russia, for example. news.bbc.co.uk...
You so-called "skeptics" who refuses to understand that extraordinary events occur for less than mundane reasons could stfu now and again. You're just annoying and nothing less. You need to open up your minds and look at things without fear. You're only seeing a miniscule portion of your 3D world.

.....I suggest if people in the media are blaming UFO's (i.e. extraterrestrials) for this, then those particular people in the media are knowingly perpetrating a hoax.
I conclude this for 2 reasons:
1. There is absolutley no evidence to support this claim
2. They know it will sell a few more newspapers & magazines & get a few more hits on their websites, all of which will please their advertisers.
All in all, this is another dim day for people who would like to see this "UFO" issue taken seriously.

No, not you, dear. If there are witnesses to an event who state clearly and plainly that they saw this with their own two eyes (or even just one, in such cases), then their word should not be discounted. I have thrice in my lifetime till now seen UFOs and it is somewhat annoying to be told that it was just "a weather balloon" or some such. My children and I have experiences frequently with ghosts, etc., so being told by those who deny for the sake of denial really tend to irritate me. If someone is red-green colorblind, should the rest of us allow them to dictate that red and green don't exist?

I would say there is a natural reason for this and what we have is the usual thing where a bunch of uneducated people attribute something to UFO's simply because they are unable to understand it.

Isolated glacial lake. Ice dam broke and water drained. Not exactly rare either. Happens here now and again. No people around to see it since its in the middle of a glacier field. The earthquake sounds like a reasonable cause for an ice dam to break. I thought US media was bad.

I think you should get your facts straight.
It was a UFO.
It happens all the time.
