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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.117Z 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

The row this belongs to came back confirmed, and it is one of the better results in the whole run — SU-BTT closing to 0.48 kilometres of Lambert International on 1 April 2023, both archives agreeing, on a track that starts at an airfield in France and stages through Paris–Le Bourget — so read the row page rather than this list, which only records surrounding dates that stayed empty. Note what the row does not claim: neither Kirk is placed here, it is a Turning Point event date, and an aircraft at a field says nothing about who was aboard — the object-versus-person distinction that also governs the foreign-registered phones logged at UVU and every claim in the Israel main-suspect section. The following day is the interesting one: Jefferson City, where TPUSA Faith launched its tour — and where the page measures 130 miles of driving between the jet and the stage instead of letting the date carry the argument, the test the overlap index now applies throughout.
