25 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N217MH 11 km S at 300 ft; N47424 13 km NNE at 600 ft; N502BG 16 km N at 900 ft; N459MM 21 km S at 500 ft; N49MQ 24 km NW at 475 ft.

What plane is flying over me?
This page uses the centre of Union City, NJ. 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.
