Keith Masback, former Director of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration for the US Army, explains how to understand satellite imagery, and provides a few tips and tricks for what people like him are generally looking for. Keith talks about how to tell man-made and natural environments apart from each other and breaks down what typical military routines from other countries looks like.

    Spy satellites see in resolutions and wavelenghths not available for the public, so this doesn’t reveal much…

    In school one teacher showed us a picture of modern day Berlin at night.
    You could still see where the border has been because they used different lanterns in the different countries and the lanterns haven’t been changed back yet.

    So I obviously knew climate change is a real thing that is happening, I’m not trying to be a climate change denier…..but MAN have I never seen climate change spelled out so plainly as it is in the photo set at 1:53

    • GlennC777

      July 13, 2021 at 10:06 pm

      It’s depressing. Since we are clearly not going to do anything about it, we can look forward to wildfires, cities underwater, hundreds of millions of climate refugees within 2-3 decades, and on and on. Meanwhile a good proportion of Americans, and one of our two political parties, do deny it.

      I‘m not even joking. Being vegan helps a lot. For real. It‘s all one system that would help itself. But because people still eat livestock animals, Emissions are going up and the deforesstion of the rainforest goes on because of the animals food.

    I like how this shows us people can identify and see prison camps in North Korea that kill, maim and abuse thousands of people, yet sit back and chill. Sure lets invade Iraq for some made up weapons, but people getting killed and tortured, eh whatever.

    I was expecting this video to be longer.
    If the patterns are that easy to recognize, then I imagine the people who are interested in those patterns use software to automatically analyze satellite images for those patterns and have that software notify the interested parties when it find them.

    You should site the sources for the imagery (i.e. what sensor). Google doesn’t operate ay satellites.

    One of the things I watched unfold over time was at the Groom Lake facility in Nevada. Over the span of a couple of years I watched a pile of dirt grow next to a black spot on the western side of the main facility. It would appear that there is an underground extension at that site now.

    Also, Mr. FBI guy, your coffee is getting low, you should grab a refill. I’ll still be here.

    If you haven’t ever done this, you really should. Download Google Earth and explore! You can “Show Historic Imagery” which allows you to scroll back and forth through time.

    – if you want to take a look at a HUGE steel mill in China that processes 45% of the planet’s Rare Earth Elements go to the city of Baotou and zoom in on the dark park to the city’s west. There’s several articles and a few videos on the place as well. “Baogang Steel Mill”

    Wrong. Remote sensing includes all non-haptic methods. Thermal imaging is remote sensing. Laser interferometry is remote sensing. Sound recording is remote sensing. Not only satellites and planes. I have a PhD in this field (actually in developing analytical algorithms to process data acquired by remote sensing, but I also perform such measurements by myself) so “let’s say” that you can trust me on that one.

    I always remember the adage “Soviets play football (soccer). Cubans, basketball.” So, back in the day you had pics of Angola and there were soccer pitches – there were soviet/east German advisors there or conversely Cubans if you could see basketball courts.

    I love how we are the most advanced civilization on the planet; we have the capability to take pictures of stars/planets hundreds of light years away. However when we want to show a zoomed out picture of our own planet, we only have a crappy computer generated composite photo.

    Pro-tip: An actual satellite imagery specialist, especially someone working for an alphabet agency, would never, ever, ever, explain a single thing about their job. Ever.
    Not only are there multiple NDAs and security clearances involved, of which breaking either are treason and punishable by death (More important for the latter), there is literally nothing for them to gain by openly spreading any information whatsoever.

  141. Euro Wars
