A couple of UPS 747-8s are scheduled this morning out of PHL between 8:45 and 9:15, so I was just checking flights in and out of the airport when I noticed this vehicle moving at about 30mph. The FAA "N" lookup for N502XB turns up nothing - has anyone else ever noticed a ground/non-aircraft vehicle showing up on ADS-B before?

That's ASDE-X.

Airport Surface Detection System — Model X (ASDE-X) is a surveillance system using radar, multilateration and satellite technology that allows air traffic controllers to track surface movement of aircraft and vehicles. It was developed to help reduce critical Category A and B runway incursions.

F-15Es are called strike eagles, never heard them use it to identify themselves though.

Thanks
