OK, here is one I caught last night... 53,100ft @ 24 knts, Showing United Kingdom, flying very close to a Military MOA, and showing up as a CIVIL? I have doubts... Anyone have a guess what that is?
Best guess Drone... It's in controlled flight over a confined area. Yes it is way up there above all normal civil air traffic. Was also thinking balloon but the track eliminates that possibility. Wild guess: Qinetiq_Zephyr
Correct. The ADSB ID KELLEHER is the last name of the designer who is now deceased. Been tracking this for the past 9 hours from San Diego, CA. Is solar powered during the daytime and uses batteries during the night time. It was at almost 69,000 ft. when I first started tracking it. Now it is around 59,300 ft.
I believe you all are correct.... One of these: http://leonardotimes.com/2017/04/05/the-airbus-zephyr/ Tonight it's at 58,700ft and 17 knots....
I added details to the DB but for some reason they're still not showing up. I put GLDR for the ICAO type since that's a better icon for the map.
Nice town. I need to try and catch the airshow at the base sometime. I usually come out a few weeks before the show for a hamfest at the Yuma fairgrounds. Will be passing thru in a few weeks. Hoping to get onto the base and get a shoulder patch from their Fire Dept.
I think they brought it down, or are in the process. At 22:15 Local 05AUG2018, I watched it disappear from my 2 feeds at 11.900 Ft AGL
It dropped off my feed early on Sunday. My feed is limited towards Yuma. Wonder if they plan more flights in the future.
