When Noah sent out the dove the third time, what happened?

Answer: She did not return

First the dove found nowhere to rest, then she returned with an olive leaf; the third time she did not return.

“But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.”— Genesis 8:9 (BSB)
