Helicopters, military and low planes over Sharjah
No helicopters are broadcasting their position within 60 km of Sharjah right now. If you can hear one, it may be a police or military helicopter that does not transmit ADS-B, or one outside receiver range at low altitude.
1 military aircraft is visible nearby: OTBH 52 km SSW at 27,525 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
Every aircraft below 3,000 ft is close to an airport, which is normal approach or departure traffic.
1 aircraft nearby uses a privacy programme (PIA or LADD), so the owner asked for the identity to be hidden; the position is still shown.
- OTBH military, 52 km SSW, 27,525 ft

What plane is flying over me?
This page uses the centre of Sharjah. 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.
