 "evidenceNote": "Each dossier separates three claims: drone presence, impact and attribution, each with its own evidence state and supporting sources. 'reported' means a source describes the claim without sufficient identification evidence; claims by parties to a conflict are never 'confirmed' on their own. Counts reflect dossiers in this curated archive, not all incidents worldwide. windowStart/windowEnd are reporting-window calendar bounds, not individual event days; legacy date remains the compatibility/sorting date for such records.",
 "locationNote": "lat/lon are the dossier's own approximate coordinates (see locationPrecision) and are empty when the incident location is unknown. referencePoint {lat, lon, level, name} is a display reference only: a fixed point in the named city (GeoNames), region (its administrative seat), sea or country (Natural Earth label point), derived at build time. It is not a geolocation, not an estimate of the incident location and may change when the dossier's place becomes more precise: reference point; incident location unknown.",
 "detailsNote": "media, operationalEffects, followUp and archiveEntity are editorial, source-indexed additions. Media is publisher-link only, has its own evidence status and never establishes drone presence or attribution. Debunked original-media links are removed; archived revisions omit media references. archivePattern is computed from mapped published event records at generated time, not a worldwide incident count. Null asOf means not established; publication time is not substituted.",

  "summary": "An early-morning alarm briefly closed Billund Airport on 26 September 2025. Police said the suspected drone was a bright star.",
  "impact": "The airport operator confirmed a 06:05–06:25 local-time closure, but said scheduled traffic was not affected. This records a precautionary airport restriction, not cancelled or delayed flights.",
  "evidence": "Netavisen quotes two original institutional accounts: Southeast Jutland Police on the misidentification, and Billund Airport on the closure. Ritzau separately reports the star explanation but does not supply a second independent identification. Debunked refers to the original drone interpretation, not to the documented closure.",
  "unknown": "The star is not named. No celestial object, operator, hostility or relationship to the 25 September morning alarm is inferred.",
  "attribution": "No operator or responsible organisation established by these sources; no criminal charge or conviction is asserted.",
