EAA493 Mailing List: Couple of ADS-B events

[Joe Christian (k5hmd]

Judy and were flying to Ruidoso on Tuesday and I started receiving ADS-B traffic information on several aircraft in the Midland vicinity.

 

At any rate, when I was northwest of Midland, I noticed I was being closely shadowed.  The other plane was close behind me, and about 400’ lower.  I would guess a Customs pilot was getting some practice.

 

The other event is not easily explained.  As I got close to Roswell, I noticed a “airplane” right over the ADS-B tower.  It was at an altitude of 60,025 feet and had a groundspeed of 1 knot.   Don’t have a clue what this one was???  Anyone venture a guess?
