Official source account — 2020 annual report, printed page 41: Gonzalo Santile recorded a brief stationary flash in a time-lapse assembled from twenty-five-second exposures. CIAE compared the position with IDSat and Orbitron calculations. These placed the inactive Nahuel 1A satellite closest to the flash, above geostationary altitude. Previous observers had reported that satellite flaring. The agency identified a reflected satellite flash, noting that the time-lapse compressed its actual duration.
The summaries distinguish reported observations from the agency’s proposed explanations. Source Type A/B ratings describe explanatory confidence and are not encounter classes.
