 "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": "Flight operations at Dublin Airport were suspended on the evening of 2 March 2023 following a reported drone sighting. The airport and airline accounts reported three diverted flights.",
  "impact": "The airport statement gives suspension at 18:27 and resumption at 18:59 local time, approximately half an hour. Three flights were diverted. No casualty or physical-damage claim is established here.",
  "evidence": "AeroTime and The Journal are separate editorial sources, but both reproduce the airport operational account; The Journal also relays the airline response through RTÉ interviews. This supports the disruption and reported sighting, not independent technical identification of a drone.",
  "unknown": "The source dates are 3 March; the described Thursday-evening event was 2 March in Dublin, then on GMT. No airline breakdown is asserted: AeroTime calls all three diverted services Ryanair flights, but that detail is not independently established by the second cited article. No cumulative winter closure count is treated as a total for this event. Distinct from the published 24 January 2023 Dublin dossier.",
