ASTROBLEME
Hi Everyone,

I witnessed a large fireball early yesterday morning. Thanks to Chris L. Peterson, operator of the Coudbait Observatory near Guffey, there was a video that captured part of the event. Here's the link to his footage;

I put together a Google Earth map of the possible impact area with azimuth line intersects as I know them. The meteorite(s), if any, might be found in the vicinity of 36 degrees 48.412 minutes North, 106 degrees 4.426 minutes West. That is a remote area close to Los Cerritos de la Cruz South in northern New Mexico.

Here's my map...
