Case description

Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 15: Maira Rodríguez filmed a bright point moving steadily for almost two minutes before it faded toward the northeastern horizon. CIAE compared the reported time and track with Orbitron and Stellarium simulations. Both placed the International Space Station over central Argentina on the same southwest-to-northeast course. The agency concluded that the recording showed the ISS, classifying the case Type A. 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.
