How to read a dossier
Every incident is judged on three separate questions. An airport can be confirmed closed while it is still unclear whether a drone was involved at all.
1
Was there a drone?
Drone presence: reported by a source, confirmed by explicit evidence, inconclusive after investigation, or debunked.
ConfirmedReportedInconclusiveDebunked
2
What was the impact?
Closures, diversions, damage or injuries, with their own evidence state. “Not established” means no source reports an impact.
ConfirmedReportedNot established
3
Who is responsible?
Attribution is never inferred. A party’s claim, a charge and a court finding are shown as different things.
Not establishedClaimedChargedConvicted
