Case description

Official source account — 2024 annual report, printed page 59: A Buenos Aires witness observed and briefly filmed a stationary bright point low in the western sky. CIAE's Stellarium reconstruction placed Venus in that direction at the relevant time and found no second comparable point in the recordings. The report assigned Type A to the Venus explanation. Its index dates the event 12 August 2024, while the case heading gives 21 August; the source discrepancy is retained. The summaries distinguish reported observations from the agency’s proposed explanations. Source Type A/B ratings describe explanatory confidence and are not encounter classes. The map uses an approximate GeoNames locality centroid, not the observation point.
