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.
| Claim | Supporting sources | Visible support |
|---|---|---|
| Swedavia announces resumption around 21:30. | [1] | Support remains visible |
| Police had not found drones or a suspect. | No supporting link recorded | No supporting link recorded |
| The police investigation has been closed, according to GP relay. | No supporting link recorded | No supporting link recorded |
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.
Data
- No structured detail recorded
- Hit / damaged · Fell near · Intercepted (claimed) · Human consequences
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.
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]
