PUERTO TIROL – Pr. de Chaco (27/9/2025)

Official source account — 2025 annual report, printed page 84: A preliminary CIAE field report examined a recovered object near Puerto Tirol together with video of a September 2025 reentry. The agency compared the path, timing, nozzle opening and valve-area markings with a candidate rocket. It inferred that the object was the fourth-stage deorbit motor of a Jielong-3 launched on 24 September for the Geely-6 mission. The heading gives 27 September; reporting, recovery and reentry dates should remain distinct. The summaries distinguish reported observations from the agency’s proposed explanations. Source Type A/B ratings describe explanatory confidence and are not encounter classes.
