And searching Twitter for Naples, Florida, on that date showed a local weatherman asking his followers for pictures of storm clouds in Naples. Below is an image of the Wolfram Alpha search and the tweet. Final checks: What does the video show? Now it’s time to bring all of your data together and ask the obvious questions: Does the video make sense given the context in which it was filmed? Does anything jar my journalistic instinct? Does anything look out of place? Do clues suggest it is not legitimate? Do any of the source’s details or answers to my questions not add up? Remember, your assumption is that the video is false. Does the evidence confirm or refute that assumption? When it comes to video, bear in mind that elaborate hoaxes have been, and continue to be, played. Canadian students infamously faked a video of an eagle swooping down in a park in Montreal and picking up a baby7. This was debunked by splitting the video into single frames and spotting that the eagle’s shadow was missing in some frames. (More technical people can use video editing software like the free VLC media player8 or the free Avidemux video editor9, or the licensed Vegas Pro10 editor to split a video into its constituent frames if you have doubts over its construction.) 53
