I wonder if it is a test object for Glare 08 which is operating very close to it. Or if it is an object/target for Noble exercise that seems to be operating.

I am researching it.......while doing that found some good information on Airborne Warning Tracks....primary for AWACS

AW-700 located in W-72, altitude as assigned. Track is 12.5 NM either side of a line connecting the following Lobe Points:
a. 36°25’00”N/074°03’30”W
b. 36°25’00”N/073°26’36”W

AW-701 located in W-387, altitude as assigned. Track is 10 NM around easternmost point and 12 NM around westernmost point either side of a line connecting the following Lobe Points:
a. 36°57’00”N/072°58’30”W
b. 36°57’00”N/073°43’00”W

AW-702 located west of W-122 in the Hatteras ATCAA, altitude as assigned. Track is 12.5 NM either side of a line connecting the following Lobe Points:

It is buzzing with activity in this area today!!!! C17 Teddy?? just landed at PHL.

Probably support for president and vice president visit to Philadelphia tomorrow.

Speaking of, does anyone have any insight/speculation as far as what aircraft may be involved in the Philadelphia trip tomorrow? I know having both the president and vice president on the same plane is generally frowned upon, but it has happened a few times in recent years. If the VC-25 is planned I'll probably drive up to a spot in NJ across from PHL to get some images.

Yes, it shows up in the legacy ADSB web address after closing the browser but doesn't show up at all in the new web address --

Okay wild guess. I thought I saw the same call sign preceding a USCG helo landing at KACY (but still trying to re-track that process)
In case that does not pan out - it is probable that the object is an aerostat.

Radarbox is showing as below and is about 10 miles off shore. If the skies clear up over the ocean - I might drive up to Long Beach Island and see if I can spot it. At least there should be no weekend beach traffic !!

I checked the Island Beach State Park live web cam and did not see anything out over the water.

Looks like a sonic boom coming to Cape May, as someone is coming to play, they were showing 0.9M then pushed over 600kts. Hex was showing a P8.

That is ground speed not air speed. Before he went out of range (that direction is my poorest coverage area for now) - he was showing 356kts
