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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.124Z 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​

This is the second gap file for one date, because row OWENS-063 duplicates row OWENS-033, the same 15 March 2025 Wichita cell scored twice, and both copies returned nothing from the free archives, which settles nothing about the aircraft. Double-scoring a cell that also carries an unsupported Charlie-present flag is the worst combination on the sheet, and it gets weaponised in both directions, by people using it to dismiss the whole foreign question and by people citing the total without ever reading a row, as the press record and the platform record both show, and as the numbers reaching the aggregators demonstrate. For the underlying dispute rather than the arithmetic, read the Candace Owens broadcasts with their on-air revisions from 68 to 73, then the defamation case now attached to it and the wider defamation section.
