CIAE Informe de Casos 2022

Annual case-resolution report from Argentina's Centro de Identificación Aeroespacial (CIAE) documenting 68 citizen UAP sightings received and analyzed in 2022.

Brief

The Centro de Identificación Aeroespacial, created on April 4, 2019 within the Fuerza Aérea Argentina, published its 2022 annual report covering 68 citizen UAP reports that met the dual requirement of testimony plus evidence. Another 39 cases were rejected for missing one or both requirements despite repeated contact attempts. Director Com. (R) Rubén Lianza states that every analyzed case was generated by causes of known origin, and the report applies the French GEIPAN classification, sorting conclusions as Type A (definitively explained) or Type B (explained with supporting evidence). Identified causes across the casebook include drones, birds, insects passing the lens (BLURFO), the Moon near the horizon, satellites, and other ordinary stimuli misperceived as extraordinary.

Key points

CIAE was created on April 4, 2019 to organize, coordinate, and execute investigation and analysis of aerospace events of interest to the Argentine Air Force.p.2
The 2022 report contains 68 accepted cases that met the dual requirement of testimony plus evidence; 39 additional cases were rejected for missing one or both requirements.p.2
Director Com. (R) Rubén Lianza concludes that the totality of analyzed cases were generated by causes of known origin, attributing them to honest but mistaken interpretations of ordinary objects.p.2
CIAE adopts the French GEIPAN classification: Type A (definitively explained, irrefutable evidence) and Type B (explained with strong supporting evidence satisfying the Principle of Coincidence).p.2
Case 1 (Carlos Azcona, Punta Alta, 28/12/2021) was classified Type B as compatible with a nocturnal drone displaying white LED lights with magenta flashes at its extremities.p.5
Case 5 (Michelle Soria, Villa Luzuriaga, 15/1/2022) was classified Type A after Stellarium simulation confirmed the orange object low on the northern horizon was the Moon reddened by atmospheric dust.p.12
Several cases (Rubio, Sastre) were resolved as insects or birds crossing inside the lens's minimum focal distance, the BLURFO phenomenon, producing out-of-focus elongated traces.p.6
The Pablo Muhlberger case (Mercedes, 12/6/2017) analyzed multiple objects transiting in front of the lunar disk while the witness was filming the Moon.p.13
CIAE invites contrary hypotheses to be submitted in person with supporting evidence, and states that opposition expressed on social media or non-academic forums will not be considered a scientifically valid refutation.

Verbatim

El Centro de Identificación Aeroespacial (CIAE) fue creado el 4 de Abril de 2019 con la tarea de "Organizar, coordinar y ejecutar la investigación y análisis de eventos, actividades o elementos presentes u originados en el aeroespacio de interés; identificar sus causas e informar las conclusiones a los Organismos pertinentes que las requieran"
p.2
Los sesenta y ocho (68) casos listados más abajo han sido enumerados por orden de llegada y comprenden aquellas denuncias de avistamientos recibidas durante 2022 que han cumplido con los requisitos de: Testimonio + Evidencia.
p.2
Hubo otros treinta y nueve (39) casos que no fueron aceptados para análisis por no contar con alguno o ambos requisitos, pese a los reiterados intentos de comunicación con los testigos para solicitarles la información faltante.
p.2
Si bien la totalidad de los casos analizados fueron generados por causas de origen conocido, constituyen, sin embargo, testimonios muy valiosos desde el punto de vista investigativo
p.2
hemos clasificado sus conclusiones adoptando el mismo método que utiliza el Grupo GEIPAN de Francia, dividiéndolos en dos categorías: caso Tipo A (definitivamente explicado) cuando se encontraron evidencias absolutamente irrefutables y Tipo B (caso explicado con fundamento) cuando se identificaron elementos clave que, por su calidad y cantidad, apoyan fuertemente una hipótesis.

Most interesting

CIAE's motto, printed on the cover, is 'COGNOSCERE CAUSAS / MYSTERIA SOLVIT' (to know causes, to solve mysteries).
Of 107 sightings submitted to CIAE in 2022, every one of the 68 analyzed was resolved as a known-origin stimulus; none remained unexplained.
CIAE explicitly mirrors France's GEIPAN methodology, using the same Type A / Type B classification scheme.
The report introduces a recurring acronym, BLURFO, for blurred unidentified flying objects caused by insects passing inside the camera's minimum focal distance.
CIAE used the wunderground.com weather archive to retrieve historical wind data and recalculate apparent bird-flock velocity in the Carlos Ricci case.
The agency states it will not engage debate on social media, requiring opposing hypotheses to be presented in person with supporting evidence at its office.
