    Good to know. Yandex works well with Russian images and apparently with Chinese ones too.

    Interesting. My image search didn’t give a straight answer. However, the skyscraper on the background is the 20th tallest building in the world.

    This is correct. What was your clue?

    I took this photo in 2015. What is the name of this river?

    I googled "Lidl Superstore' and scanned the images. PS It probably helped that the image of a candidate Lidl store was a stock photo, used by many sites, e.g. However, I had to scan again through the 'Image source' results to find where the original photo was taken...

    Using "Add Photo" tool on Google Earth it may be possible to nail the position of the camera (including altitude) within meters, but doing it manually is rather cumbersome. Here is my unrefined first attempt:

    CLAIM: Proton bursts? Sofia, Bulgaria Feb 2024

    Here is my translation of what the guy says: "@&%!, what is this? You tell me what… (pause)… They, @&%!, come to, &%@!, the sea and turn." My Bulgarian colleague told me that many rich Russians had been buying property in Bulgaria, mostly at the Black Sea resorts, so it could be the right...

    CLAIM: Proton bursts? Sofia, Bulgaria Feb 2024

    I've checked the tweet in OP and have doubts about provenance of its video. The "cameraman" speaks authentic Russian with a lot of expletives.

    Video of helicopter leaving "chemtrail"?

    Contrail is a short of 'condensation trail'. This is condensation of water vapour from the engine exhaust and/or the air, and this is a trail left by a moving object. It doesn't matter how high it was flying.

    Sinusoidal Thin Contrails Explained [Meandering Solitary Hybrid Contrails; the 'Rook' Instability]

    Thin contrails are too narrow to be visible in the weather satellite images. The cloud formations probably were at much lower altitudes than the sinusoidal trail, and their wave patterns were not necessarily due to a mountain effect. I recall seeing similar patterns over flat plains and over sea...

    Video of helicopter leaving "chemtrail"?

    I agree. I checked the weather records for the place on 24-Jan-2022, it wasn't very cold by local standards, just around -20°C. However, the relative humidity was very high, above 80%, which is corroborated by hoar frost formed on trees and wires. A high humidity would explain the formation of...

    Video of helicopter leaving "chemtrail"?

    I think that I found the original video on a Russian social network VKontakte. It was filmed on about 24 January 2022 at Liubinskii, Omsk Oblast, Russia. Located in Western Siberia, this place can be very cold in the middle of winter. So these are almost certainly the exhaust contrails...

    Video of helicopter leaving "chemtrail"?

    This video is from a Bulgarian FB page, but it probably was filmed in Russia. Amongst the cars there is a Russian Lada Classic ("Жигули"). The helicopters seem to be Mil Mi-24 Hind or Mi-28 Havoc, the latter are used by Russian aerobatic performance demonstrator team Berkuts, which machines may...
