Totally fake. That's not what a real strike would look like.

Good point and I realized it was a fabrication after reading the maker's >description. I wonder if an actual impact has ever been recorded? I
mean, we have the super bright and larger ones like the Russian one a
few years ago, but no impact video from that that I know of.

Meteorites hit the ground cold and slow (like throwing a rock off a
cliff). I don't think any have ever been caught on video. A fall would
be almost impossible to see even if there was a camera on it at the
time.
What this video simulates (badly) is a meteor that impacts while still carrying a good fraction of its initial speed. In this case, it would
be traveling at least several kilometers per second. The body would
have to be several meters across at impact to survive to the ground
with that speed. It would produce a crater on land (which ordinary
meteorite falls cannot do). No such impact as ever been recorded. The
thermal flashes of meteoroid crashes on the lunar surface are
regularly recorded.

I agree. I think the video would have been better made with a
conventional explosive simulation of some sort and not something
inbound. It sort of reminds me of the explosion that happened in Beirut
a few years back at the fireworks(?) factory.

Just to run a back-of-the-envelope calculation, given about the
smallest possible size for the impactor of 10 cubic meters, a density
of 3000 kg/m^2 (typical of stony meteorites), and a speed of 5 km/s
(any slower and we'd not still have ablation going on), we get a
kinetic energy of 4e11 joules, which is equivalent to 100 tons of TNT.
So, I think, a much larger explosion that we see in the video.
Also, given approximately a second from the impact to the shock wave,
the impact was only a few hundred meters away from the camera! There
would have been a massive atmospheric shockwave (as we saw from the Chelyabinsk event), and if you were that close to a 100 ton TNT
explosion, you'd probably be inside the fireball.
