Claimed flights we could NOT retrieve a primary ADS-B trace for

Source tried: adsb.lol globe history —
https://adsb.lol/globe_history/YYYY/MM/DD/traces/<hh>/trace_full_<hex>.json
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 | 2022-11-24 | 404 | overlap OWENS-043 - Wilmington DE (claimed, audit: archive_gap) |
| SU-BTT | 2022-11-25 | 404 | overlap OWENS-043 - Wilmington DE (claimed, audit: archive_gap) |
| SU-BTT | 2022-11-26 | 404 | overlap OWENS-043 - Wilmington DE (claimed, audit: archive_gap) |
Where this page fits
This is the unusual case where both checks came back the same way: the paid audit recorded row OWENS-043 as not assessable, and the free archives above returned nothing for SU-BTT either, so it sits on the overlap index with no verdict in either direction and none of the standing that the window definition requires. Two independent sources of silence are still only silence — the governing rule here, and one that applies just as hard to the parts of the case where nothing was recovered, from the bodycam the county said did not exist to the witness phone videos reported deleted remotely to the sealed material catalogued under legal investigation. For the opposite outcome — an archive that did give something back — flight data recovery documents the four free routes and the one genuine removal they proved, while what a 403 actually means documents the finding this site had to retract.
