Fun mystery on ADS-B Exchange

a reply to: Zaphod58

Just had a look myself man there is a lot of stuff up there

Looks like the L3 757 is heading into Vegas. That's a rather interesting plane.

Three Hunters showing up at Point Mugu again.

Northrop Cessna 680 heading down to Florida from the Pax River area.

Ok, today is a really interesting day on the "interesting" filter. FBI Gulfstream coming back in from the Atlantic, and a Marshall Service 737 over the Tennessee area.

I noticed a U2 flying over California last night.

a reply to: Woody510

They show up sometimes when they're flying locals.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I just found it amazing how many planes were in the air over America compared to the 2 ospreys showing over England.

a reply to: Woody510

Yeah, it gets a touch busy over the US at times. It's fun to try to figure out who's doing what as they're flying.

So the night before last Zaph I was doing a bit of sky watching noticed a solid yellow light moving damn fast. I quickly got my satellite tracker out on the phone but it showed nothing due for at least any hour. Anyway looked back up and the thing and had just vanished.

a reply to: Woody510

Yellow, or more of an orange?

a reply to: Zaphod58

Sort of in between both I'm not totally sure as we have coloured street lights so that could have affected it.

a reply to: Woody510

He's been popping up more and more. I was lucky enough to see him on one of the early test hops back in 2010 or 2011 or so.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Good to see couldn't believe how quickly he vanished though. Travelling south to north. Anything likely to come out about it or will it stay black?

a reply to: Woody510

Nope, I'll be shocked as hell if this one ever comes to even grey, or if rumors even start floating around about it.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I'm guessing it's totally different to the aircraft that has the really deep low sound as this left no noise at all?!

a reply to: Woody510

Yeah, this one doesn't leave a sound as it goes over. Think really high and fast. And that's about all I'm going to say about it.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Could be the fabled plane that leaves the atmosphere and glides back down at speed then boosts back out again. Orange light could be the glow of reentry?

a reply to: Woody510

Yeah, keep fishing, because I've said what I'm going to say and that's what I'm going to say.

a reply to: Zaphod58

No that's fine I don't expect you to say anymore about it just kind of what I was thinking just now and other things I've read in the forums.

a reply to: Zaphod58

So a bit of a Google search at home just now and on the museum of arts and sciences website a lot of people seem to have this orange light all around the world. Also seems to be a fair few sighting of the green lady dotted around the globe as well.
Orange light seen in Australia similar to my sighting on the 18th and I'm sure I read on here somewhere that woomera had restricted airspace.

a reply to: Woody510

It's been seen a lot more lately. I think it finally went operational.

Tonight we have a Dreamlifter, an Omega tanker, and KC-46 EMD 4 showing up. Looks like the Omega either has chicks in tow, or is meeting up with the night mission from Red Flag. He's over the Nevada/Utah border region, only at 13,000 feet.

Oooo. The L-3 757 with the interesting history is over Malaysia heading towards Australia.

On the military side, Combat Sent just came out of the upgrade shop, and a Morocco BBJ out of New York.
