Does anyone remember that 4chan thing where they geolocated some secret flag location and they used info from planes they saw in the sky or something? I wonder if it could do that now.



Using planes is a standard OSINT technique since their locations are well known. It's just another way to whittle down the location of things or to verify the location of a photo if you have a guess already.
