Through the liaison with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA for its acronym in English), it was reported that at 18:50 pm on that day, there was a celestial body that entered the atmosphere and hit a point in the Sierra Madre Occidental.

Czech Landeros reported that strong winds that lash the mountainous area difficult inspection work area much of the territory of Sinaloa de Leyva and some villages in the neighboring state of Chihuahua, where presumably he could drop the meteorite or space junk.
