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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.123Z 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​

These lookups belong to row OWENS-033, a March 2025 Wichita claim that is both duplicated as OWENS-063 and marked Charlie Present with no sourced Kansas event behind the cell, so the archive silence recorded here is the least of its problems. Only three visible cells on the whole sheet claim Charlie Kirk himself, which makes each one worth checking properly rather than accepting, and the same standard applies to every other high-value claim in the case, including the reported day-before warning texts, the Discord confession timing against the custody record, and the inconclusive ATF fragment. Read the 73 overlaps next for the arithmetic, how many rows are Erika-only, how many are duplicates, how many the audit reversed, then the speaking catalogue for the record a Charlie-present cell would have to match, which the overlap index checks row by row.
