  Maybe try https://planefinder.net/ next time? I know during the search for Myles Sanderson it was possible to track the rcmp plane. Anyone know what app/website that was?

  I'm still feeding planefinder.net since they were the ones who first got me started with all of this ADS-B feeding side of things. I'm currently still feeding ADSBExchange, but also evaluating options and the future. Source: over 3 years ago

• This woman was so nervous about flying, so the flight attendant explained every sound and bump and even sat here holding her hand when it still got to be too much for her.

  If it helps, it always helps my gf when I remind her that flying is the safest mode of transportation ever created, and show her this map: https://planefinder.net/ this reminds her of how many thousands of other planes are constantly flying. It has to be this specific site as others won’t show every plane when zoomed out. Source: over 3 years ago

• Airplane noise in University Heights?

  When I look on planefinder.net, the closest planes I can find are usually somewhere down in South Park, or often it seems like there isn't even a plane landing/taking off at that time. I'm 99% sure it isn't freeway noise down Texas either, based on how it sounds. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Your first step guide for ‘What to do when you see a UFO’

  Great post, but also to add - make sure to get landmarks in that can help judge size and do not crop or alter the video. People inspecting it can do that and stamping on the video from gps and other data can fill in blanks. If you have an iphone you can literally ask Siri what flights are overhead. There are also sites like https://www.n2yo.com/?s=28485 as well as https://planefinder.net/ and other similar apps. Source: over 4 years ago
