Looks like a fine place to visit next time I have work trip to Brussels 🤔 I wonder if there are local furs there...

Just make sure you don't ask your agents to collect stamps 🙄

Notices Tinka only turned up for the pizza party. How rude ^^'

AI will suffer from the same biases and blindspots as humans do. They can only find things they know what they think they look like. And are blind to things they assume to be something else. Allowing AI to classify new unknowns and analyse relative location and temporal evolution is the key. 🦊

nothing obvious to protect. And certainly not as single isolated guns. So the analysts were told to start looking for circles where there shouldn't be ones. And sure enough they started finding dozens of such sites all along the channel coast. A whole new radar net was revealed.

Finally they managed to pinpoint a suspect location and photograph it. From the air it looked like just another anti-aircraft gun emplacement. A small circle isolated in a field next to the coastline. But something was off. The Germans didn't build emplacements in such places, where there was...

Related location is also of interest. Finding features in places they shouldn't be, especially new ones.

In WWII at the dawn of the introduction of Navigation Warfare and radar, R.V. Jones was looking for radar sites. But no one at the aerial photographic service knew what they were looking for...

It found me several hundred UFOs but that was to be expected around edf 🤔

Another 10 years and LEO direct-to-cell will start taking over even terrestrial networks. Having any kind of physical infra is just too expensive and the requirement for more transfer capacity keeps growing. Much easier to set up more wireless than keep digging new cables.

As for being a sign of war, lets put GNSS jamming in context: it is primarily used defensively as force protection and its effects can be felt hundreds of kilometers from its intended area of use. For example the Baltic region has experienced jamming for two years now relates to war in Ukraine.

The interference was likely caused by a military exercise with testing of jammers, typically as part of larger counter drone systems. GPS is only one of the frequencies they jam.

Space weather event is coincidental since it would not cause such localized effects.

If you land, be careful of any crashed spaceships with leathery eggs inside 🙄

My experience dates back to those same years. When BBSs were the way to exchange a lot of software, usenet news groups were full of useful information before the web and IRC meant Internet Relay Chat which were the first live chat rooms of the internet.

Am I corrupted if I saw those first as paw soup 🙄

Safety glasses on: risk mitigation done 👍

Clearly the man should revisit antenna theory. For most antennas and masts severing the connection to the ground plane will increase their resonant frequency as the ground no longer acts as part of the antenna (except maybe via capacitive coupling) 🤔

Sure it would be trivial to disguise and hide EW antennas if they wanted to. But Russians usually don't bother. They are known to just strap on additional EW systems on their deck for all to see. I'd look for high res photos of all the decks as well 🫡

Those are normal maritime navigation, communication and satcom antennas. I see no EW or suspicious looking antennas. Sorry. I work with naval radio antennas every day. I understand they might all look similar to non-experts.

This is an interesting Human Factors problem: humans are very good/too good to always explain things and find plausably sounding stories to everything. It is tempting to jump to conclusion that such artifacts must be due to X. Only analytical comparison and elimination can check such hypothesis.
