Title: The Austrian Mystery......
Post by: skywatch on August 30, 2016, 12:55:08 PM
Does Anyone know what this is???

Always using squawk code of 7777 and always around 7000' altitude. Speed is usually around 2-3kts nad just look at the time tracked!

Could it be a blimp or airship? Seems a bit high to be a tethered one, and it moves quite a bit too.

Still I am curious, so any answers???

Already  2015 also in August an Austrian Forum mentioned
a relation of FFMSNE to Schneeberg in Lower Austria and
FFMUNT to Untersberg in the Salzburg area .
No other info here.

THanks for the info! :)

Seems that squawk 7777 is Radar Calibration code, so something to do with that. But up for over 11 hours and a speed of 2-3kts means I wonder what it is! - I am told that the FFFSNE is the call of the radar being calibrated, but that doesn't tell me what it is in the sky doing that calibration.

The mystery aircraft remains a mystery!  ;)

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I have now solved this to my satisfaction as well as the SSM1/SSM2 tracks around Sydney airport. Now I have time for other things!
