Mina Clavero photograph

Official source account — 2017 annual report, printed page 25: A Mina Clavero witness discovered a bright apparent object after reviewing a photograph dated 21 January 2017. CEFAE compared its geometry with other internal-reflection cases and checked the line linking the anomaly with its suspected light source. Because that line crossed the optical center, the agency concluded that the mark was compatible with lens flare. The object was not separately described as having been watched in flight. 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.
