I cant translate hispanic -Rugged...??

Following comments off the cuff and all deletable
Todays report of rugged item picked up by freighter 400 km away
Photo seems to show a crewmans foot to give scale
Item about 1 metre x 3 metre
Cross section is tapered like an aerofoil,
But surfaces look planar with a slight "hard chine bend"
Could be a door , some sort of control surface , flap , or an internal
longitudinal structure.
It looks (by coincidence of dark background of ship structure) as if
the panel is translucent
400 km a long way away
Reports exist of several fatal European CB encounters by paragliders,and hang gliders finishing, up to around 100 miles from where they entered cloud Frozen solid and asphyxiated.Could light broken parts of aircraft expect to be scattered by CB in the same way
I was informed one time of giant hail/ very large lumps of ice falling from a storm in South Africa required a calculated 300mph updraft to support them during build up accretion
