Last time i surfed this site the flights over North Atlantic were not shown on the map, the flights used to disappear/re-appear  few 100s miles east of Labrador/East coast. How do they track them? i read somewhere there's no radar coverage above Atlantic, away from coast.
Interesting flight path, maybe were picked by fast high alt winds; the jetstream is lopping right there SW, AZ,Nevada,NM;

Found another one and its registered to the Project Loon experiment

How do they track them?

The aircraft themselves report their gps position.

The aircraft themselves report their gps position.

Only those which have ADS-B OUT installed.

I've been searching the map for this USAF nuclear explossion sniffer plane ; there's a spike  in radiation since January  above most Europe , unknown source but there was  an incident at a nuclear power plant in France  .

The occult  tarot cards on top cover of "The economist " ( a Rothschild publication) comes in my mind.
