Join UPAWhere this comes from
Every event on this map was published by a named source — an official body, or for alerts the channel named under Alerts — and is shown with that source and the time it was retrieved. The association adds nothing to it.
No openly accessible source is available for this layer yet.
Open-source intelligence
One query, every source we are permitted to ask
People, companies, vessels, sanctions and cultural property — searched across official published sources, with the source, the date and the link on every result.
Searching is for members of the association.
UPA is an independent research platform. It is not the FBI, INTERPOL, EUROPOL, a police force or any government body. Results are records published by third-party sources. They do not confirm identity and are not statements that anyone has committed an offence. Always verify against the original source.
What can be searched
- Searching for a person
- Missing and unidentified people
- Searching for a vehicle
- Ships and aircraft
- Searching for a company
- Sanctions lists
- Stolen art and cultural property
Searches can also be asked about Person, Company, Vessel, Aircraft, Vehicle, Cultural property and more.
Every result carries the name of the source it came from, and the date it was retrieved. How the search works, what it is allowed to reach and what it refuses to do is set out in full on the methodology page.
How the search worksWhat this will not do
- It does not reach private profiles, direct messages, closed groups, protected databases or leaked data. Only what a publisher has chosen to make public.
- It does not work around CAPTCHA, authentication, access limits or paywalls. Where a source is closed, the answer is to say so — not to find a way in.
- It does not confirm identity. A name that agrees, or even an identifier that matches, identifies a record — not the person you were looking for.
- It does not accuse anyone. Results are records published by third parties, and are never a statement that any person has committed an offence.
