Even more interesting
The third video down seems to show the meteor above the clouds when on the Hotel video is seems to be below. On the third video - I assume it is real time - it also seems to be travelling a little too slow for a meteor as it is traversing and in view for about 15 seconds but does not cover the entire sky by any means.
It doesn't quite add up to me. It seems to be a meteor on all videos. Maybe on the hotel shot the trail is showing through thick cloud? In which case it could have been very high up and that makes better sense if not entirely convincing.

Actually carefix, I'm inclined to think that this is a fake one. Although it's pretty elaborate if it is a hoax, showing footage from 4 different angles, it seems a bit too 'CGI', especially the 'head' of the object, the fireball itself. Someone did an analysis here:

Another thing that stands out for me is the lack of excitement something this big would surely have generated among press and people in Mexico.

CGI
Yep, lighting gives it away, albeit a very good one. Cloud and smoke generation is much easier achieved on a computer than realistically lit clouds. Any light source inside or near a cloud that realistically illuminates its environment is usually only being done in big Hollywood-size special effects studios, because of insane computation power and expertise requirements.
This might have been done for a portfolio.

my first impression
was that its not a real meteor and i have paid very little attention to any of these.

....I think you are right! I was certainly suspicious on several grounds. The slow speed on one video and the beneath the clouds traverse on the hotel shot plus analysis do suggest it is a fake, but a good one. Someone has put much effort into this and it was good enough to fool Dirk for a time! Maybe he has withdrawn his offer from the LMH site? I must check!
This I do find amusing as he thinks I am wrong about Itys and yet he fell for this one.....!
Itys is the real deal. Keep an eye out for the black headed meteor with orange and blood red flickering flame.
It is our end.

Fake
Yes, Checked out Niall's link and it is a fake. The meteor actually moves into reverse at one point. Conclusive Fake!
Nicely done though. Caught out LMH!
Dirk's offer is still up there though.
Guess it will quietly be removed sometime soon. I sent him an email!
Well it had me thinking it was a meteor on first inspection but upon delving it didn't seem right. Too slow and too low with no indication of atomic blast sized damage to Mexico.
Well done go2mark...

No.
A fake meteor in Mexico and a military excercise in the far North? Not unless the excercie was fake as well...

I wouldn't be so sure. After all, the US, Canada and Mexico (!) are partners in North alliance.
"A fake meteor in Mexico and a military excercise in the far North? Not unless the excercie was fake as well..."
And how do you know where this military exercise was held? It only mentions countries located in the North as the main participants. And I don't think that the exercise was fake. If you do know the details of it, please post the links.

LMH
Dirk Ross on LMH:

Says now:
I am still calling this event REAL in spite of the skeptics.
He replied to my email telling me of these....
He has some more videos of the event....worth watching.
One commenter, Alex Folta say:
"Remove this Videos please because they and lot other from this Guy are totaly fakes :("
If one is fake then they all must be. I do not believe meteors reverse in the sky - but I assume the youtube analysis is honest...

question

I don't - just its purpose covered Russia, Canada and the USA events
Enirely possible they did do the excercise over Australia or Antarctica.
But that seems to me pointless....

A genuine meteor and Dirk Ross from Lunar Meteorite Hunters is offering a meteorite reward for each original video and needs information on the hotel and other locations. He seems to think it could be as big as the Chelyabinsk meteor. To me it is not so big but as it is or seems below the clouds it should not have survived so far if it were less than ten+ meters in diameter. That to me makes it a bit of an oddity. Interesingly it is tracking South to North like the black headed meteor AKA the Asteroid Itys which is about due (or overdue) now but I have seen no reports of it yet. I wonder....could this be a small fragment of Itys that broke off in the atmosphere over the southern hemisphere that would explain its survival but this is extreme speculation! A small meteor would not be giving an incandescent trail so low it would have burned out much higher but one over 10 metres would have given an atom bomb sized explosion when it hit or broke up in the atmosphere. This would have been international news. It could not have got back out into space from so low.....Odd.
This is why I guess he is frantic for the information. It doesn't fit. It doesn't make sense. It should be under High Strangeness
Thanks for cutting down on aircraft contrails.
