By day Kyle Glen works an office job for a clinical research company.

By night he gathers and analyses intelligence that can reveal the truth about wars around the world, and debunk fake news.

Kyle is one of a growing army of amateur analysts working on OSINT (open-source intelligence) – which he shares on the @ConflictNews twitter account, and the OSINT Bunker podcast.

In this extra edition of BFBS Sitrep he explains how it was OSINT that successfully warned the world of Russia’s plan to invade Ukraine, and tells Kate Gerbeau how and why he became an amateur intelligence analyst.
