Holy shit.
This guy takes a couple of minutes of audio from a security camera anywhere in the US, with no clues from the video whatsoever, and finds the exact spot where it was recorded.
How?
By correlating the Doppler curve sounds from two almost inaudible planes passing by with public ADS-B flight data.

I think this is the #OSINT video of the year.

Two thoughts about this method:
1. They assume a constant base frequency that only shifts because of the Doppler effect, but I'd argue you can get more precise results if you consider frequency changes due to flight maneuvers, changing speed etc., too.
2. You could combine this method with ENF analysis to narrow down the date and/or time.

@scy Well, he does compute the frequency changes for each pair of flight and candidate point, and the flight data includes the flight path's geometry and changes in speed. Isn't that what you mean? 🤔
@scy sometimes I think about all the things we’re going to learn from old film (eg, Zapruder) with mass facial recognition and things like this. It’s an amazing time.
