How is a Mexico trajectory possible? Only possible direction based on that camera view is north to north east.

This event shows up clearly on both the GOES East and West satellite data, in the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) imagery, but with a ground track that appears to be farther to the SE and in northern Mexico.

This circular signature may be birds scared into flight by the sonic boom. This same bird feature is visible in radar data for the Monahans and Indian Butte meteorite falls. No falling meteorites are obvious, but the event occurred at long range from the radar and the weak radar signatures of falling meteorites may not appear.

This site is populated and features a few farming communities, with the "El Chocolate" dry lake bed to its south.  Conditions should be good for recovery of meteorites.  Analysis of radar data will continue.
