Hello

Does anyone have any idea what this may be? Currently at FL300 @ approx 500kts over the Channel.

I think I may have semi-answered my own question

The call-sign assigned and time matches up with ZZ3xx (so unidentified tanker)

What's with the 000001 HEX??

1. Deliberate spurious code
2. Messed up transponder data
3. Bad transmission/decode

Or anything else!

I would say 1) and 2) are most likely.

3) I would think unlikely as I received ~6000 messages from this a/c.

Thanks
