Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
Official source account — 2021 annual report, printed page 33: Emanuel Ayala saw and filmed more than twenty similarly sized objects over Rafael Castillo. CIAE compared their shape, colour and drifting behaviour with a group of helium balloons. IPACO analysis revealed a short hanging string beneath one object, strengthening that interpretation. The agency classified the case Type A, preserving the observed group while attributing its appearance to released balloons.
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.
