| To me the trapezoid suggests something traveling south fell in the area. Narrow at the top, wide at the bottom. Maybe they dropped a nuke by accident (again) |

| That looks like a rather flat trapezoid for something that fell from high above. With a fast-moving object, we can usually tell its trajectory across the map much more accurately than we can tell where along that trajectory it impacted the ground. See: MH370. |

(Doesn't really explain why the TFR doesn't extend into Mexico though.) | |
