Briefing hints:

  • Mostly towards Spain and France
  • And that’s all…

Here is the original satellite image given for this contract:

We can point some interesting things from this image:

  • Taken from https://satellites.pro (red cross in the middle on the screen)
  • Some kind of dock (pointed by the red cross)
  • A company restoring boats (red)
  • Houses and trees that form shapes that are easily recognizable (yellow)
  • Part of an isle or land (Purple)
  • A rectangle in the water (Green). This one will be useful once we find the correct spot to validate the position.

We know from the briefing the this is near France and Spain.
It is more likely to be on the right coast (because sea/river on the left).

I decided to split the investigations by likelyhood of location:

  • 1: Balearic Islands
  • 2: Northern Spain
  • 3: Southern Spain
  • 4: Southern France

After some long minutes (hours) of research:



We found the location!
