What we know
Swedavia announced reopening around 21:30 local time after an alarm shortly before 18:00. Flights diverted and departures were postponed or cancelled. Three next-morning cancellations were an interim airport count just after 06:00, not a final incident total.
Swedavia independently confirms operational disruption through SVT; police investigated witness reports. SVT reports uncertainty, and Härryda-Posten relays GP on the later closure and lack of secure observations or technical evidence. Inconclusive does not establish a particular star, aircraft or hoax.
What remains unknown
Exact closure boundaries, final affected-flight totals, object identity and operator remain unknown. The original SVT timestamp precedes late-added reopening and next-morning updates. The point represents Landvetter locality rather than airport or object coordinates.
Operator attribution: Not established. No operator or responsible organisation established by these sources; no criminal charge or conviction is asserted.
How the story changed
The police investigation is reported closed for insufficient evidence of drones; the operational interruption remains documented. [3]
