This is the only free, no-account source of historical ADS-B tracks we have found. It serves only what its volunteer feeder network actually received.
WHAT AN EMPTY RESULT DOES AND DOES NOT MEAN. A 404 here means adsb.lol holds no
trace for that airframe on that UTC day. It does not establish that the aircraft
did not fly, and it does not establish that a transponder was switched off. The
ordinary explanations come first: the aircraft was parked and silent, it flew outside
volunteer receiver coverage (most of the Atlantic, most of North Africa, much of the
rural US at low altitude), or the claimed date is simply wrong. Several of the rows
below are already recorded in overlaps.csv as audited inaccurate.
The claim is what is listed. The absence is what we found. Neither is proof.
| Tail | UTC date | HTTP | Why we looked |
|---|---|---|---|
| SU-BTT | 2022-10-19 | 404 | overlap OWENS-002 - Chicago IL (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
| SU-BTT | 2022-10-20 | 404 | overlap OWENS-002 - Chicago IL (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
| SU-BTT | 2022-10-21 | 404 | overlap OWENS-002 - Chicago IL (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
Where this page fits
Three lookups for SU-BTT, three 404s, and a control basket of unrelated airframes that failed identically — that is the whole content of this page, and it is why row OWENS-002 sits on the overlap index as untested rather than refuted. Writing an absence down is not busywork: the same discipline separates a retention boundary from a deletion in flight data recovery, and it is precisely what the investigation lacks on witness phone video reported deleted remotely, the 4K footage a witness says the FBI asked him to erase, and the sealed material tracked under legal investigation. The page worth clicking from here is the Candace Owens broadcasts, where the count moved from 68 to 73 on air without a single underlying row in the 73 overlaps reconstruction changing.
