If the aircraft is flying under 150 miles per hour the radar cancels them out.

This is so the radar does not show cars on the highways.

If they are using a military IFF they are canceled out

And not showing a transponder they don't show under 1500 feet.

i think you nailed it!

they were definitely going slow, i obviously can only make a ruff estimate on the seed but it was for sure not going 150mph.

i live in a dated community end people have gotten normal flight lines moved as to lessen the noise.

it is all was surprising to see what fly's over our sleepy town, a few days ago i 2! Chinooks

drum is already north of me so unless they were going back(unlikely) i guess it could happen
