Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 125: Valentina Vargas saw and filmed a dark oval object with several lights, describing a metallic appearance. CIAE compared the recorded navigation lights with historical FlightRadar24 information. The track matched an Airbus H155 helicopter, registration LQ-HWN, belonging to Argentina's Ministry of Security. The agency concluded that the video showed this helicopter in night flight and classified the case Type A.
