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 lookups behind row OWENS-058, a claimed Nebraska stop that the paid-archive audit placed back at Cairo, and the empty results add nothing to that verdict, because an archive holding no trace is a coverage fact rather than an evidentiary one. Lincoln carries the strongest counter-explanation in the whole aircraft thread, a Duncan Aviation maintenance account for the Egyptian Air Force dating to 1999, which is a documented commercial relationship and deserves the same airtime as the intelligence-service reading, the Israel thread, and the reported foreign phones at UVU. Read the Lincoln arrival log for seven Egyptian arrivals across twenty months, the contract set out in full, and the detail that the rotations continued after Charlie Kirk's death, which is the hardest single fact for the following claim to absorb and one nobody amplifying the 73-count has addressed.
