EAA493 Mailing List: Re: Couple of ADS-B events

I wish you had done a quick turn to check visually for traffic.  I wonder if the ADS-B was showing your shadow some how. Anyway, that has not happened to me using Stratus and Foreflight, but the weather radar is very accurate.

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?
