Case description

Official source account — 2016 annual report, printed page 23: Diego Battion discovered an apparent flying object while reviewing a landscape photograph from Córdoba. CEFAE identified the main shape as a gliding bird compatible with a dove, using the contrast between its dark wingtips and gray body and tail. A second blurred mark could be a more distant bird or a nearby insect. The index dates the account 26 January 2016, but the case heading says 23 January 2016; the conflict remains recorded. 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.
