I just talked with the TV cameraman who shot the video, and he
said it was taken at an evening football game, probably between
8:00 and 9:00 PM local (MDT, UT-6) at the Socorro Athletic Complex
in El Paso. That's not far from where I live, so I'll go out there 
tomorrow and try to get a better idea of the azimuth and elevation 
of the putative reentry shown in the video clip.
