What was reported
About a dozen people at a festival near Termas del Almirón reported red lights blinking on and off from an apparently low object; similar reports came from distant places the same night, which suggests something high and far away rather than low. The Uruguayan Air Force's CRIDOVNI commission sent investigators to interview witnesses. No conclusion has been published; CRIDOVNI had earlier attributed other Uruguayan reports of lines of lights to SpaceX Starlink satellites.
