The audit log shows the author of an entry as "JIRA". What does that mean?

I'm looking at the audit log and I see that most entries have an author that refers to a real JIRA user. However, some entries have an author of "JIRA".

What does this mean? Does it mean the action was not triggered by a person?

In my case I'm trying to track down who deleted an entire JIRA project. Knowing that the author is "JIRA" is not helpful.

I also have a "JIRA" user showing in my audit file for deleting a project - even though I was the one who deleted the project.  I would see if Atlassian can get you a detailed log file - that may help.
