The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

UNVERIFIED

No document is attached yet. The retrieval is open work.

What is not settled

Include only with a caption saying the documents are missing. No recovery report, no debris analysis, no HAF statement text, no named officer. A 1990 Soviet re-entry is entirely plausible and would explain everything. Greece is the weakest cell in the region.
