Copenhagen airport closure due to reported drone activity

[ThomasH]

News in the CPH case.

The witness who first raised the alarm has given an interview to a newspaper. She has been questioned several times by the police, who brought in "experts" to analyze her video, and the conclusion is that it's a plane, and the small dot moving around is lens glare.
The police have also interviewed several of her colleagues, and the message to them was the same as to her, there are no drones in the footage.
But she is sticking to her story and does not believe the police.

Meanwhile, on the political side, a final report was supposed to be released a couple of weeks ago, but on the same day an election was called. The politicians have postponed it until after the election and refuse to comment on what the conclusion is.

Has the witness been identified in any way? Member of the public, airport worker?

Airport worker and she reported it to the security right after she saw it and this was what shut the airport down.

Was her video shared publicly? I know there were several videos circulating, one on board a plane (which we figured out showed the police helicopter arriving), two from near terminal buildings and one from out on the airport tarmac. Was one of those hers?

It's this one:
Source: https://youtu.be/xS8IE9SWO5A?si=yarXLZ-FiBhT5vbO

But it stats half a second before and zooming in, so I can actually see precise where the camera location is now, so I'm making a new video.
Also the clip is 9/16 aspect, where it other one was distorted. It's still super low res because it was send to her from her colleague.
I'm in talk with the journalist now to have the original, but it's still super small and without meta data I guess. But I will keep my promise not to share it.

The interesting part is, that the police said it was a plane too - while the last statement from the airport was, that their workers of cause not would misidentify a plane with a drone.

I'm confused. We have a woman who works at the airport, who made the first drone sighting and that closed the airport. But the video associated with her is low res because it came from someone else. Did the lady making the report also record a video? Or did she make a report and someone else sent her a video, of a plane, as evidence of her report?

IF these various people have the original video, and it supposedly shows a drone, why all the subterfuge? Why no meta data? Why can it not be shared? Sounds like someone has something to hide, or just wants to hype up the story.

The journalists only talked to her, and she showed them the video her colleague send her.
Maybe the police have the original video her colleague shot, I don't know.

But she was the one alerting the airport security: ""There are two drones. They are large. These are not toys," she reported at the time through the security system at Copenhagen Airport."

I'm just saying if I get the semi original video from the journalist, the one she got from her colleague, I can't share it. I will of cause look for meta data, but since it's so heavy compressed and resized, I assume it's also gone.

I got the "original" it's still 260x464 and 68 kb/s - It might have been sent over SMS, so pretty useless, and with no meta data.
But it doesn't really matter, because it matches 100% with the famous training plane, so that one is closed.

I still don't quite understand why if the witness saw the plane herself and filmed it, the only video is one that somebody sent to her by SMS?

She saw it with a colleague but didn't film it her self. The colleague then sent his/hers clip to her.
This clip is the only one the journalist saw. The colleague has not stood forward, but maybe the police saw the original, we don't know.

But the woman was the one calling the security and started it all.
