Case description

Official source account — 2016 annual report, printed page 61: Karina L. noticed numerous apparent objects after reviewing a Buenos Aires photograph dated 13 May 2012. CEFAE described orb-like marks distributed across the image and attributed them to small defocused dew droplets on the lens. Their internal rings showed a radial pattern consistent with lens curvature. The agency's explanation concerns optical effects within the photograph, rather than a separately observed formation of aerial objects. 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.
