 "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": "Reported drones prompted an airspace restriction at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base during the night of 13–14 December 2024. The War Zone obtained a direct base response and reproduced a published restriction notice. Later FOIA reporting describes security-force observations and the response.",
  "impact": "The War Zone reproduces a four-hour restriction-notice window and reports that airspace reopened. This is not an independently measured disruption duration. The base said no impact to residents, facilities or assets had been established then. The airspace restriction is an operational effect; no physical damage or injury is established here.",
  "evidence": "The War Zone obtained an original response from the base. The Black Vault separately obtained incident records through FOIA and reported on them. Both arise from the same installation and may share underlying observations; they are not two independent technical detections. The raw release and videos are linked by that publisher but were not independently analysed here.",
  "unknown": "The event date is the local Friday-night start, not the Sunday source publication. The FOIA article also covers 16 December; that separate night is not merged here. Its response-log sequence is not an exact reopening time. The restriction window and log timing are not summed or silently reconciled. Object type, count, operator and attribution remain unestablished. No flight path, altitude, gate, patrol position or private-person name reproduced.",
  "attribution": "No operator or responsible organisation established by the reviewed sources.",
