I have arranged the three reports from his page in chronological order.

From Jim Stone's site:

I just saw what was probably an asteroid miss the earth by about 150 miles

I do not think it would have been the space station because it was far too bright and appeared to have two mountains on it. It traveled approximately west to east and passed directly over Leon Mexico. It was probably about 150 miles up because when it got to a position at about 20 degrees above the horizon an hour after sunset, it changed colors from white to yellow to orange to red to gone (in a few seconds) which would be explained by having the sun set on the horizon behind it as it went past the earth. The speed was much higher than I'd expect a satellite to be, it took it about 25 seconds for it to go from directly overhead to passing into the earth's shadow at about 20 degrees above the horizon.

After I concluded it was not an airplane I pointed out the bright light to Claudia a few seconds before it started to change color and disappear and she said asteroid. I did not even have to tell her because it was obvious. And then she said no airplane changes colors to red and vanishes like that

My guess is it had to have been about a mile across because you could pick out two mountain peaks on it but could not see detail. It might make the news, but passing over Mexico it might get missed.

I have confirmed the "asteroid sighting" was not the space station

This went almost directly from west to east, and it's intensity stayed the same during the entire traverse, which would have taken about a minute and 20 seconds if viewed crossing the entire sky. That does not match the space station or any satellite.

Satellites take longer to traverse the sky, are not as bright, and in the case of the space station, the direction of travel was wrong.

DEFINITELY A NEAR EARTH ASTEROID LAST NIGHT

I have received secondary confirmation from another witness, who saw it approach from the Western horizon. This person said that as it approached it had a halo, which would definitely peg this as a near earth deep space asteroid. I could not see the halo as it passed overhead because I first saw it as it came over the house when I stepped out of the front door and when looking straight up at it (and as it went to the West, the halo was not visible, (at least to me). It was attention getting bright, it caused me to look up at it.

I will go into a little more detail - I figured it was going between 65, 000 and 80, 000 mph and was between 100 and 150 miles up. It stayed visible for a total time (Western horizon to disappearance behind the earth's shadow) of about 1 minute and 20 seconds. It was prominent enough to tell it had two mountains on it, or a valley down the middle of it. It passed DIRECTLY over Leon Mexico at 9:30 PM central time. It disappeared when it was about 20 degrees above the eastern horizon. From this, people can calculate approximately how high it was. My guess of it's altitude is completely perceptual, but there is a way to calculate a close approximation of how high it was because there are reference points here (the time it went over and the inclanation at which it disappeared that can tie it down fairly close. It's trajectory was almost exactly west to east.

People assume that all the telescopes and Nasa and other observers are always going to see something like this approach. But most of these objects get missed until they actually arrive, and with it passing over central Mexico south of the Tropic of Cancer, there may not be any official acknowledgement of it passing at all. The story would be different if this thing passed over the central United States.

Its appearance was unbelievably bright, but it did not hit the atmosphere. I'd say it appeared to be well over 5 times as bright as the brightest Venus ever gets. And if it was possible to tell it had either two mountains or a valley down the middle of it, it was HUGE.

Other observers also clearly saw it as an asteroid. A lot of people saw it because it was impossible to miss because it was extremely attention getting bright. The initial report on this is farther down the page.
