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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.116Z by site/docs/Planes/following/apis/public_open_source/code/pull_all.js.

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.

Where this page fits

Atlanta is row OWENS-008, already marked inaccurate by the paid audit, and the three 404s above are a coverage boundary rather than a second opinion — the open flight-data page sets out exactly where the free archives for SU-BTT start and stop, and the overlap index records the row accordingly. Georgia is also a state with no sourced Turning Point appearance anywhere near the date, which drops the row out of the speaking-events catalog entirely and leaves the claim resting on a spreadsheet cell — the same evidentiary thinness that dogs the unproduced kill-me screenshots, the anonymous surgeon behind the body-stopped-it story, and much of what circulates in the media response. For the version with receipts, the September 8 donor group chat is a rare case where TPUSA's own spokesman reportedly confirmed the texts as genuine.
