Uhhhhhhhh...

there there some weird wires being crossed here, or this uav has been all over the world .. on its current flight? or somehow globe.asdb.fi is interpreting that it went up and has never landed, and therefore all its recorded flight data is from this flight? so we get its full ... browser history?

this is very weird.

okay this is bananas.
all the flight tracks are very clearly around military bases in the US or cruising around the mexican border in san diego.

either a bunch of different places are using the same hex code for an aircraft (000001? cmon) or its one aircraft thats traveled around the world and done 'stuff'.

this is some 'oh hey look what strava did aahahahahah... .. WAIT.. WAAAAAIT AHAHAH HOLY SHIT' kinda shit right here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayraktar_TB2

so uh
it occaionally flashes a callsign - TB2T488

so its a turkish military drone just cruising around.... what appears to be a highschool and some markets .. in bangledesh?

Bayraktar TB2 - Wikipedia

best guess - its either some kinda search and rescue operation or something, because watching this aircraft on globe.adsb.fi sometimes it changes its shape into a helicopter and gets a different callsign (maybe theres more than 1 aircraft and adsb coverage is spotty?) or maybe its someone living out a ghost recon fantasy

@Viss would not be surprised if its stack fail, spoofing, broken beacon, or any combination within

@morb @Viss I imagine that the database lumps together certain empty/null/broken callsigns/beacons.

NosirrahSec 🏴‍☠️ guillotine enthusiast 3d ago

@morb @Viss so multiple fucked up entries look like one fucked up insane flight record

@NosirrahSec @morb yeah i had thought the same thing - like 000001 is the default hex code for some drone and its one of those 'change your password after first install' sorta deals, but people are dumb and ... dont
