Case description

Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 92: Maximiliano Caviglia was watching for a meteor shower when he saw a formation of lights over Barreal. He supplied detailed testimony but no photograph or video. CIAE compared the place, time, alignment and movement with satellite-tracking calculations. The simulation matched a Starlink train. The agency treated the agreement as sufficient for a Type A identification of the reported lights. 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.
