 "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": "A reported drone sighting led to a temporary flight suspension at Hannover Airport on 5 November 2025.",
  "impact": "Federal police gave 22:00–22:45 local time for the closure. An airport spokesperson separately told NDR that three flights diverted.",
  "evidence": "The federal police account of a pilot report is relayed by dpa and NDR; that is one sighting origin. NDR separately quotes the airport operator about operational consequences. Wednesday evening means 5 November, not the 6 November dpa publication date or 7 November NDR update. Both reports describe the same closure.",
  "unknown": "No independently verified identification, device recovery, operator or motive is established here. Langenhagen is a municipality reference. This is separate from the 26 December closure.",
  "attribution": "No operator or responsible organisation established by these sources; no criminal charge or conviction is asserted.",
