New: Bellingcat has been given access to over 140 satellite images showing activity at a Crimean shipping terminal that some reports have claimed has been enabling the transportation of stolen Ukrainian grain by Russia. bellingcat.com/news/2023/05/1…
Ship tracking data appears to show that few vessels have been visiting the Avlita terminal in Crimea in recent years. However this is contradicted by a raft of satellite images and other monitoring tools. A satellite image of the te...
Bellingcat identified 179 days in the first 12 months of Russia’s full-scale invasion where ships were present at Avlita terminal with their AIS transponders turned off.

Today marks a year since the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin, West Bank. Last year, the Bellingcat team unpacked the circumstances around her death using open source techniques. bellingcat.com/news/mena/2022…
The Bellingcat team analysed multiple videos and photo sources from the scene, including bodycam footage released by the IDF and footage supplied by Abu Akhel’s Al Jazeera colleagues who were present when she died.
The video footage helped to geolocate the positions of IDF soldiers from the spot she was shot and other armed men in the area.

When trying to geolocate an image, knowing where to start looking can be hard. Bellingcat has developed a new tool to make that easier, enabling you to narrow down your search area based on objects or structures identified in an image. bellingcat.com/resources/how-…
The search tool will generate areas of interest by searching objects and structures tagged in OpenStreetMap, a free global map maintained by volunteers around the world. openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.540…
If you had a photo of a town square and a rough idea of the country or region it was taken in, you can then identify specific features in the image and use the tool to search OpenStreetMap. It will then provide you with a list of likely locations within the geographic area.

How would you determine when this photo was taken? Youri van der Weide explains all 🧵

If you were to investigate this image, you might start zooming in to find the banners in the background labelled ‘2017’ and ‘mets.com’. But that only provides you with the year and the possible location.
With that information you might then start to google the relationship between brands like Habitat (seen in the photo) with the New York Mets from that year.
