Pretty interesting case...
What ever came down there in Chikindzonot city (my guess is also that it was a fireball aka. comet or meteorite) on SUNDAY September 22 at about 8:30 pm, has left some interesting clues.
Here is a rundown of the event:
- During the fall of the object, a loud roar was heard by entire population and, immediately, all could observe, in the bush, a beam of light that remained shining until about 2:00 am. I guess the video posted above by Zim is showing this beam of light in the bush. Here it is again:
- Many in the community saw an object in flames falling in high speed, that came from the sky.
- It was quote: "much bright". The strong shine of the object could be observed at the neighboring towns, like Saban, Quintana Roo, San Francisco, Peto Chikindzonot.
- The dogs barked all the time.
- The persons stood fascinated [when] the glow began to decrease, about to touch the soil.
When it happened, was like a pyrotechnics blast. At this moment occurred an electric blackout and, in the zone of the fall, was observed a twinkling blue luminosity.
- On the first hours of Monday [september 23, 2013], some people went into the forest to try to find the object that caused the blackout, and great was their surprise when they found strange fragments, of different sizes, almost buried in the ground. In its fall, the strange object crashed with two power lines, damaging them. Despite to be a sturdy material, even thus, parts of the cables were melted and broken into several pieces.
Even with some fear, the some persons resolved to rescue fragments of the object and carried them to the municipal police station There, the material will stay waiting some authority that could examine it and determine their origin.
Curious, policemen tried fit the pieces, trying to give some sense to these objects but, what they obtained with their efforts, is very strange. The fragments form a humanoid figure, what have caused wonder and comotion among locals and foreigners. [See the pictures and videos of those objects in the source articles and videos I have post below and above]
- The researcher of the Instituto Tecnológico de Mérida, Eddie Salazar Gamboa said the object are meteorite fragments or debris (human trash) attracted by the gravity of Earth and warned
that direct contact with them may be dangerous to humans.
In an interview, Salazar Gamboa commented that this type of meteorites, usually, fall at the poles or in oceans and in some cases, on land.
The researcher explained that, usually, these pieces of cosmic rock have a hole in the center, which is result of the incandescence generated by friction, when the bolide enters in earth atmosphere.
These fragments, he said, help to fertilize the soil where they are deposited.
He urged people must not have contact with these objects because they may contain radioactive material and, eventually, can cause certain types of cancer.

- On October 1 it was reported : "Fireball of Yucatan causes nausea and headache in rescuers" At the place of the Fall, [See pictures in the source articles below] eight men who rescued the fragments of the Yucatan Fireball felt nausea and headaches. Cecilio Couoh Heredia reported:
"[The fragments?]Still was hot. We do not know what actually went down but we are almost certain that that thing is not a meteorite.[That must have been on Monday morning - September 23 when he gathered the fragemts from the sight?]"
- Coyoc Chí Juan and Juan Alfredo Moo also commented that, arriving in place of the impact, they saw that large chunks of the material was consumed in the heat but without burn anything around you.
In Ichmul area, people are still scared. Fear that the object has brought some kind of bacteria or virus. This possibility is being considered because according to witnesses - after the fall of the fireball, a strange odor, unpleasant, was felt in the region.
Some people, like the commissioner Cecilio Cohuo Heredia (quoted above), who came into direct contact with the fragments, complained of malaise, nausea and headache.
- On October 1 "Experts have arrived in Ichmul to analyze the fragments of the OVNI'Fireball Which Fell in the Region" Among others, four investigators from Centro de Investigación Científica de Yucatán (CICY - Scientific Research Center of Yucatan). They were designated to analyze the fragments of the sky fallen object and from which parts were rescued by the community. The experts explained, that there would be no danger to people who had contact with the fragments because they aren't radioactive.
- Coyoc Pech said, that researchers confirmed that the fragments are not the result of an electrical problem, as employees of the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE - Federal Commission of Electricity) have said. It was verified that what hit the community is, in deed, something that came from sky.
- None of the fragments was identified. They claimed that they had never seen anything like this and therefore, will need to analyze more accurately. The results must be known in four days and the orientation is to don't allow more people to have access to the fragments.
- During and after the event alleged UFO sightings are being reported in the area where the fireball fell. [See an alleged picture of one of those UFO's in the source articles below]
