Case description

Official source account — 2018 annual report, printed page 10: Roberto Mondragón noticed an apparently patterned flying object in a photograph taken at Valle de la Luna on 6 July 2013. CEFAE compared the pattern with the top of his vehicle's gear lever and analyzed the sunlight direction. It proposed a reflection of that component in the driver's window. Other reflections in the same window supported the interpretation that the apparent sky object originated inside the vehicle. The summaries distinguish reported observations from the agency’s proposed explanations. Source Type A/B ratings describe explanatory confidence and are not encounter classes.
