Romeo Sierra India Sierra Tango - TYPE(BALL)

[Mr.Department]

Hi guys,

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ARE ABSOLUT OPEN SOURCE

any idea what a kind of surveillance object this could be ?

for at least one week Flightradar show the paths of this object with
UNIQUE-ID MODE-S CODE 4BE422 ( probably military experimental)

cruising identical path at 50.000 feet (lower stratosphere) with average speed between between 20 -78 knots. ( Fits to Zeplin speed range)

Radar : T-LTFJ 13 (SAW)

Flight paths registered with playback option and graphs :

In military data bank is no entry

Could it be our new experimental surveillance zeplin ?

Zeppelin definitely possible. Too high for a helicopter but an UAV perhaps?

The more interesting question is, why is this available on Flightradar24? AFAIK, it's not showing actual radar image. Aircraft position information is populated by the aircraft themselves through the ADS-B system. Why would an experimental military aircraft carry an ADS-B transmitter?

Probably a commercial operator testing a balloon. Google has been testing internet provision balloons recently in the US which show up on flightradar like this.

UAV perhaps

20 knot at 50.000 feet, would an UAV not stall or is it sometimes in gliding mode (test flights) ?
It is cruising in intense air traffic area, so it must have a transponder to avoid collision/irritation ?

Google

It can't be tethered balloon , there is intense air traffic.
Google has to get permission from the countries to operate, needs like every airplane/airship a flight slot/corridor and our media would have already made it public.

It is realy a miracle / mystery for me. Any ideas ?

I found this comment, but it seems not thrustworthy.

I didn't say it was tethered. Something like this https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/25/googles-sergey-brin-said-to-be-working-on-a-zeppelin-like-airship/

Could be military experiment and they added it to the civilian network on purpose. Unlike normal airplanes, if a Zeppelin loses control at 50000 ft it can drift away from a military controlled airspace so they might have done this to avoid civilian collisions in case it got out of control. But that's just a guess.

 

[Mr.Department]

tethered

Buddy I was irritated only, cause you wrote balloon.
Our Turkish amateur / hobby signal scanners mentioned it as mysterious and obviously are uploading the datas.
Cause they have no idea they are trolling a little bit.
Intetesting is the registration ID.
4 BE(experimental?).... fits in TR military code air platform scheme.
Only speculations from my side. Except the open sources there are no infos.

Its flying right now at 24.000ft
