The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

UNVERIFIED - CRIDOVNI existence and aggregates confirmed at https://www.fau.mil.uy/es/noticias/481-40-anos-de-existencia-de-la-cridovni.html

Part of the chain is attached. The rest is still being retrieved.

What is not settled

Date, aircraft, crew and file reference all unconfirmed. CRIDOVNI files are withheld by law to protect witness identity. Treat as a lead, not a documented case. NOTE: CRIDOVNI states on the record that its files include ground traces with altered soil chemistry and first-degree burns on witnesses - a documentary lead worth a formal request.
