Hi Rob and all!
Best I can tell from the videos, without mapping anything, is that the
sun is actually very high in the sky which is creating down shadows on
object protruding from the buildings.
This is easy to see. And if we had some measurements of those objects
could estimated very closely what time it was. Darn, where are the sky
cameras when we need them!!

Hi Mike,
The biggest problem as I see it is the reported time -- some time after 5 pm
local time. If this is the time that purported witnesses are claiming, then
it's a hoax: it would require the meteor to be travelling north-to-south as
seen from one location (Matehuala, to the NNE of San Luis Potosi), while it
is clearly moving southeast-to-northwest in the San Luis Potosi video taken
in front of Iglesia de la Compañía.
Personally, I don't see how the time can be right. All the videos that show
the sun (or shadows from it) clearly have it very high in the sky, which
the sun certainly is not at 5 pm or later, even at the solstice. If this
fall is real, it had to have occurred much closer to noon, and most likely
prior to noon.

P.S. Why are a dozen people standing around in the plaza in front of
Iglesia de la Compañía, all with cell phone cameras ready to record
a meteor PRIOR to its appearance!?

Im not sure why people think this is fake, would be very hard to do, and with
seemingly no purpose. I am pretty sure. it is real.
