Official and public statements
In 2015 the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies published a report stating that the object could not be identified as any known aircraft or natural phenomenon. Retired Argentine Air Force commodore Rubén Lianza published an analysis on Metabunk stating that the footage is consistent with wind-driven sky lanterns, with parallax creating the appearance of high speed.
