They initially told the RAF they were out walking, but who takes a camera out on a walk at 8.30pm?
Matthew, before embarking in an enquiry you need to do some groundwork. That’s what enables you to discard the elements that aren’t worth any effort and formulate a plan with proper lines of research. Here’s a short reading list that will help:
We are Bellingcat by Eliot Higgins. If you are not already familiar with it, have a good look at the Bellingcat website as well.
Spying on the Bomb by Jeffrey T Richelson A good primer on the use of open source intelligence.
I note with interest that one of Dr Clarke’s main interests is in
“Contemporary Legend”.
