I saw this citizen's report in AFN. It looks like it may have been somebody doing aerobatics with a smoke generator.

A las 4:45 aproximadamente un avión estaba dejando una estela blanca y haciendo maniobras extrañas como semicírculos como frente a Rosarito a unos 5 kilómetros de la costa… luego la estela blanca desapareció y ya no se pudo ver porque era pequeña o estaba lejos… dibujó como una S y cesó… seguramente sea la misma a la que se refiere la nota.
Seguro fue entre 4:45 y 5 de la tarde…
La gente de Rosarito y la costa de alrededor debió verla

they found the plane just north of the island of Todos Santos. No record of a flight plan. No mention of people. It was called in by a motorist on the toll road who saw it go down.

Hadn't heard about a crash, but do know they are blasting rocks south of here. Hope no one was hurt. Sounded like a sonic boom to us.
