 "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": "Norway’s petroleum regulator urged greater vigilance after reported drone sightings near offshore oil and gas platforms in September 2022. Equinor later confirmed a September increase in its state of alert following the authorities’ alert change.",
  "impact": "Police investigated offshore sightings, according to Reuters. Equinor confirmed stronger preparedness. These are security responses, not established damage, production loss or a successful attack on an installation.",
  "evidence": "Reuters quotes the petroleum regulator, police and an Equinor spokesperson. Equinor’s own safety update separately confirms its alert measures. These are two publisher families, but their operator accounts share an origin; they do not independently identify a drone operator.",
  "unknown": "26 September is the regulator-warning report date, not a single offshore flight date. No link between these sightings and the Nord Stream pipeline damage is established here. Equinor stated that it had no specific security threat. Exact distances and platform positions are excluded. The broad Norwegian continental-shelf marker is not a drone position.",
  "attribution": "No drone operator, national responsibility or hostile purpose is established by these sources.",
