‘Samet is an ITU aerospace engineer, no one has seen him for 10 years’

YouTube content creator Ulaş Başaran, known as “Baso,” has tracked down the identity behind the Enes Halifekan account, which has been the subject of conspiracy theories and is alleged to have predicted events years in advance, such as the Gaziantep, Güvenpark, and Beşiktaş attacks, the assassination of Russian Ambassador Andrey Karlov, the July 15, 2016 coup attempt, the 2017 St. Petersburg metro bombing, the cancellation of the 2023 Super Cup Final, the 2023 Bitcoin ETF approval, and Galatasaray’s 2024 championship.

By piecing together clues from among the 162,000 tweets, Başaran uncovered Enes Halifekan’s phone number, place of residence, full name, university, and photographs.

Following the “Samet” signature that appeared in the vast majority of Enes Halifekan’s tweets, Başaran first noticed an email address containing the characters s…o…077.

In one of his tweets, Enes Halifekan mentioned that he used his Istanbul Technical University (ITU) email address instead of Gmail.

Having found clues regarding the email, Başaran then researched information related to the phone number and identified two numbers with the last four digits 6496 and 8325.

Noticing numerous messages on the account about rockets and missiles, as well as a tweet where the user stated, “I am an engineer,” Başaran began searching all the clues he found on Google.

Continuing his research based on the information he uncovered, Başaran realized that the details of an author of a 2010 article on the TAMSAT (Amateur Satellite Technologies Association) website matched the name, the last four digits of the phone number, and the Gmail and ITU email details he had obtained from the Enes Halifekan account.

This revealed the identity of Samet Öztürk, who was an ITU aerospace engineering student in 2010.

Continuing his investigation, Başaran discovered a photograph in the ITU UUBF’s “Bu Ay” magazine featuring the satellite team that Samet Öztürk led and with which he won an award during his university years.

Following these leads, Başaran found information containing Samet Öztürk’s name, phone number, and email in the records of the 6th National Aircraft, Aviation, and Space Engineering Congress held by the TMMOB Chamber of Mechanical Engineers in 2011.

According to the information found there, Samet Öztürk was born in Istanbul in 1989.

The phrase “s.öztürk 1989 paşası” added to the end of one of Enes Halifekan’s tweets aligned with the information about Samet Öztürk and his birth year of 1989.

HE POSTED ABOUT HIS MOTHER

It was learned that Öztürk’s mother’s name is Aynur.

It is observed that there are numerous posts on the Enes Halifekan account mentioning the name Aynur, identifying her as his mother.

Samet Öztürk’s LinkedIn account and photo are as follows:

SAMET IS A KEMALIST, WOULD HAVE NO INVOLVEMENT WITH ORGANIZATIONS

Unable to reach Samet Öztürk via email or phone, Başaran contacted people who had worked with Öztürk on the rocket project to ask about him.

The people he reached said they had not spoken to Öztürk since the rocket project, but that Öztürk was a Kemalist and they believed he would not be involved in any organizational activities.

At the end of his video, Ulaş Başaran mentioned that there are other accounts that similarly predicted events but have a much lower number of tweets:

''I don’t know if the tweets have any connection to an organization, but if I wrote different things in each of the 162,000 tweets, eventually, years later, someone would find meaning in them through selective perception. We have seen examples of this many times over the years. There are thousands of accounts on Twitter that have predicted the future, deaths, and election dates with fewer tweets, and none of them are connected to an organization. Honestly, the rest of this matter doesn’t interest me much; I’m not going to go chasing after an organization just to make a video. All I know is that the vast majority of the tweets were posted by an aerospace engineering student.”
