GeoConfirmed

GeoConfirmed is a volunteer-driven open-source intelligence (OSINT) project dedicated to geolocating and verifying visual content—such as videos and photographs—from around the world. Our mission is to bring clarity and accuracy to events by confirming exactly where something happened, using publicly available information. While much of our recent work has focused on conflict zones, our methods and community are equipped to respond to any global event where visual media needs to be verified—whether it’s a natural disaster, a military operation, a protest, or a humanitarian crisis. We’re most active on Twitter/X (@GeoConfirmed) and BlueSky (@GeoConfirmed.org), where we post detailed threads breaking down geolocations, often with annotated imagery. We also maintain interactive maps and dashboards to make our verified data accessible and easy to navigate.

  • How We WorkWe –  use tools like Google Earth, Mapillary, Sentinel Hub, and other mapping platforms.Our geolocations are always accompanied by breakdowns showing landmarks, lines of sight, and visual cues so others can verify our findings.
  • Why It Matters – Our work supports journalists, human rights organizations, and investigators by providing verified, open-source evidence. In doing so, we help build a clearer, more truthful picture of events—especially in areas where reliable information is hard to come by.”
