Case description

Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 18: Javier Alassia noticed an unfamiliar object only after reviewing a photograph. Its enlarged image showed an oval central body with projections resembling transparent wings. CIAE considered a flying insect crossing close to the camera the best explanation. It noted that the fleeting scene could not be reproduced, but the apparent anatomy and the absence of a contemporaneous sighting supported its Type B assessment. The summaries distinguish reported observations from the agency’s proposed explanations. Source Type A/B ratings describe explanatory confidence and are not encounter classes.
