On its website, the American Meteor Society<\/a> has a very detailed page on the phenomenon, click here<\/a> to see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Society received 20 reports of the fireball, which are portrayed on that detailed page. After its brief flyby, there were reports of a boom which may have been the meteor’s explosion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the sightings were in the Monterrey-Saltillo area of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila states, with a couple of others in Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. sightings were along the Texas side of the border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One group that got a first row seat was a group of campers at the Potrero Chico Park near Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon. This park is a famous destination for rock climbers and is considered one of the top ten sport climbing locations in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campers, members of the Sociedad Astron\u00f3mica de Nuevo Le\u00f3n<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(Astronomical Society of Nuevo Le\u00f3n), were there for astronomical observation and were thus not disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization posted this on Facebook [translated to English]: \u201cThis weekend, we went camping\u2026 with 100 people to live an astronomical experience under the stars, and what do you think?????? Yes, we saw the fireball that came in at 2 a.m.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
