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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.114Z 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

The archive blanks for 10 September 2025 — Orem are published here because the strongest date in this directory deserves its empty columns stated as loudly as its full ones: SU-BTT and SU-BND were both at Provo that week, and not every surrounding day has a trace. No archive on earth answers the questions this date actually raises — who was aboard, why a jet parked 110 days had its transponder reportedly cycling twenty-one minutes before the shot, and what the reported DoD-liaison contractors at the airport were doing — and those belong to a disclosure law, not to a volunteer ADS-B network. For what the free archives can and cannot reach, open flight data is the honest accounting, including why a 2022 claim on this same sheet can never be tested the way a 2025 one was.
