Case description

Official source account — 2016 annual report, printed page 16: Julio Ríos discovered a dark object in a photograph taken at San Martín de los Andes on 7 February 2016 after transferring the image to a computer. CEFAE identified features compatible with an insect passing close to the camera and turning away. The body could resemble a bee or wasp, while the wings were difficult to see because of their transparency and rapid motion. The report did not identify an exact species. 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.
