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
The archive misses recorded here belong to OWENS-066, which is the same 7 July 2025 Provo claim as OWENS-037 — one claim, two rows in the register, and both came back not heard for SU-BND. Nothing about an empty lookup implies concealment; a parked airframe with its transponder off produces exactly this, and readers who want documented cases of records genuinely going missing should look at the human side of the file instead — the witness reportedly asked to delete his 4K footage, or the county's answer that no bodycam footage existed. For the mechanics, open flight data sets out which free sources hold history and which hold only live positions — the reason a 2022 claim on this sheet can never be tested the way a 2025 one was.
