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.

Where this page fits

These are the empty lookups behind row OWENS-025, the first documented Utah arrival in the whole Provo record, and an empty result here is a coverage gap in a volunteer network rather than a deletion, a distinction set out in full on the recovery hub. Provo is where the aircraft thread meets the rest of the case: an Egyptian Falcon crew is reported to have boarded there wearing DoD-liaison badges, Utah's governor is claimed to have met Egyptian and French figures thirteen days after the shooting, the foreign-involvement leads were reportedly closed off within six days, and the same airport carries the Israel thread's strongest aviation claim. Read Per-Aircraft Recovery Status next, because it says tail by tail how far back each archive reaches, which is the only honest way to tell a retention boundary from a removal, and it is the standard every claim on this site about missing flight data should be held to.
