Case description

Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 62: Valeria Bellone watched a bright object from a window between approximately 19:47 and 20:15, describing unusual floating and gradual disappearance. CIAE's Stellarium reconstruction placed Venus in the same sector. The witness independently reached the same identification using astronomy software. The agency explained the unusual appearance by the planet's low elevation and atmospheric effects, recording a Type A conclusion. 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.
