The Miraflores Construction-Site Object
In 10 February 2015, near Miraflores, Lima, Peru, a small dark lens-shaped disc, purple-tinged in some frames, hovering for several minutes over a building under construction in the Miraflores district of Lima. This case file covers what witnesses reported, the official narrative, and a two-pass assessment with its evidence tier.
What did witnesses see at Miraflores?
A small dark lens-shaped disc, purple-tinged in some frames, hovering for several minutes over a building under construction in the Miraflores district of Lima. It was filmed in daylight around 10:30 in the morning during the taping of the television program Alto al Crimen, hosted by congressman Renzo Reggiardo, and a parallel video was uploaded the same week by a separate witness.
What is the official explanation?
None. The sighting received wide Peruvian and international coverage but no official finding.
What did the witnesses think it was?
The television crew and host treated it as a genuinely unidentified object hovering over the site; a second independent upload from the same days corroborates that something was filmed over the building.
Is the Miraflores Construction-Site Object real? The two-pass assessment
Pass one: a small dark hovering object over a construction site is consistent with a drone or a balloon snagged on or drifting near the structure, and at this resolution neither can be excluded. Pass two: two apparently independent recordings of the same object in daytime over a dense urban district, with named public witnesses, which is more provenance than most circulated clips carry. Verdict: Unknown. No official narrative exists; the date and place, long stripped from reposts of this clip, are restored here.
