There was some speculation that there may be an attempt to direct this asteroid into hitting Earth. I wouldn't be surprised if it leaks out later on to have happened.

The first video shows DA14 and a shooting star. Nothing to do with any man-made missile attempting to shoot it down. No mystery here.

DA14 was a very well publicised event.
HEAPS of amateur astronomers have observed this and posted comments on various astronomy forum websites, together with a heap of photos and video.
If it was shot, if it was deflected, if its course was altered in any way at all, it would be observed by guys in their backyards.
If people got out from behind their keyboards and did some actual real life observing, they'd know this.
