What FI-X has not established

FI-X has not independently verified the account, the reported event, the witnesses, the location or the interpretation attached to it. This record was created because a substantive text source exists; it was not created from a video alone.

Research required

  • Check the original article and its publication date.
  • Identify whether the account is first-hand, second-hand or a research-group investigation.
  • Separate documented facts, testimony, folklore and later interpretation.
  • Look for local records, contemporary reporting, photographs or associated media where rights and provenance can be established.
