OSINT Education Spotlight: Observation

That which must be observed in person, first-hand; it is experiential in nature. To be in this category, the information must not have been collected by any other means. Observation is the oldest of PAI categories, and as the PAI definition states can be either seen or heard by any casual observer at a meeting or event open to the public. Examples include chants, signs, banners, or discourses at a public demonstration; first-hand witnessing of a public event or incident; and observing an individual’s tattoos or identifying features in a public setting.
