Case description

Official source account — 2023 annual report, printed page 173: A man reviewing video from Seclantás noticed an object crossing the frame. CIAE examined an oval body blurred by motion and defocus, with two translucent projections, and considered a nearby flying insect compatible with the image. A second submitted video also showed an insect moving upward near a bridge, while the witness reported noticing nothing unusual during recording. The report suggested that local bees or wasps might explain the insects' presence, but that species and nest-location suggestion was not an established finding. 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.
