What would help verify this dossier
- A primary source or verifiable evidence that clarifies whether the reported object was a drone. Evidence for another explanation is welcome too.
- An additional account with an independently checked origin. Reprints or several reports quoting the same statement do not add independent confirmation.
- A source identifying the event area at city or region level. A destination or reference point does not establish where an event occurred.
These are research questions based on the public dossier, not a checklist that guarantees confirmation. Editors review new sources and record any change as a new revision.
Share links to published material. Do not send private names, exact coordinates, live positions or flight paths.
