Unusual Meteor Activity Over Mexico

Dr. Salvador Aguirre of Hermosillo, Sonora NW Mexico captured an unusual outburst of activity on his Sentinel All Sky Camera Oct. 26. 6 events in a 4.5 hour period occured between 07:15 UTC and 11:25 UTC. A check of the El Paso, TX camera 491km (305mi) away did not reveal the outburst. (Hermosillo camera images below courtesy Dr. Salvador Aguirre). No speculation yet as to a possible radiant. Updates later on this site.
