Helicopters, military and low planes over Jersey City
5 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N4846 (B06), is 4 km WSW at under 100 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.
No military aircraft are showing within 60 km. Military jets often fly without broadcasting, so "none visible" does not mean none flying.
19 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N319FS 12 km NW at 1,875 ft; N9737W 31 km SW at 700 ft; N357EE 33 km N at 2,200 ft; N91CF 33 km SSW at 1,500 ft; N817TM 33 km NNE at 675 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.
13 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 Jersey City. 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.
