Case description

Official source account — 2022 annual report, printed page 63: Mercedes Gasparrini saw an object and filmed it for more than two minutes at Mar del Plata. CIAE compared the colours and flashing code of at least four lights with drone LEDs. The object's body was not clearly resolved. The agency classified the drone explanation Type B, keeping the particular model unidentified and retaining the historical event date printed in the source. 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.
