Case description

Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 138: While filming lightning during a night storm at San Martín de los Andes, a witness unknowingly recorded a moving light later noticed in review. CIAE compared it with a bright streetlamp visible in the scene. In several frames, the lamp and suspect light maintained the expected optical-centre relationship. The agency identified an internal lens reflection and classified the case Type A. 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.
