Timeline
Three clocks, one reading line
Shared calendar-day axis, from left to right. Bars mark days or reporting windows, not durations. Publication and revision clocks are not event clocks. Missing clocks remain unknown; the table gives all available precision and source links. The plot follows recorded calendar dates; time zones may differ. It establishes neither within-day order nor causality.

What remains uncertain?
- Was a drone established? A published investigation or identification could resolve this.
- Who operated it, and why? An attributed investigation finding is missing.

How to read this table
Reading aid only. Switch off a source or its recorded family to inspect the remaining visible support for exact claim texts. Evidence status is not recalculated. Shared wording or a shared family does not prove independence. Only recorded links labelled “supports” count here; context and contradiction links are not support. The dossier itself is unchanged.
What we know
The airport spokesperson told NDR that operations stopped around 19:30 and resumed around 20:15 local time. One flight diverted and four departures were delayed. Police describe about 45 minutes, while their opening summary rounds the interruption to an hour.
Two original institutional accounts: Bremen Police describe a witness report and a patrol sighting; the airport operator separately confirms operational disruption through NDR. NDR repeats the police account for drone presence, so the drone itself remains reported.
Data

What remains unknown
