Helicopters, military and low planes over Brentwood, CA
3 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, SD1 (EC45), is 27 km ESE at 2,325 ft. Police, air-ambulance, news and tour helicopters often fly low and slow over cities; ADS-B does not say which role a helicopter has, but the registration on the flight page usually tells you the operator.
2 military aircraft are visible nearby: N343TA (P28A) 30 km NW at 2,300 ft; N5215F (C172) 31 km N at 1,500 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
11 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N5579F 26 km NNE at 800 ft; ~2B3B56 27 km NNE at 800 ft; N343TA 30 km NW at 2,300 ft; N9452B 32 km ESE at 2,900 ft; N10TA 35 km NNE at 1,125 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.
9 aircraft nearby use a privacy programme (PIA or LADD), so the owner asked for the identity to be hidden; the position is still shown.

What plane is flying over me?
This page uses the centre of Brentwood, CA. For the exact aircraft above your street, open "What's overhead" and share your location: it lists every aircraft near you with the direction and angle to look.
Aircraft broadcast their position by ADS-B and volunteer receivers relay it. Small drones, most military aircraft on missions and some police aircraft do not broadcast, so they never appear on any public tracker. Drone sightings cannot be checked here.
Coverage: ADS-B from volunteer receivers. Within 60 km of a big city coverage is usually good above a few thousand feet; low helicopters can drop out between receivers. Circling detection uses positions sampled once a minute over the last 20 minutes.
