Flightradar24

I don't use this normally so unaware of its subtleties, but I just heard a fast jet or two zooming around near my house so thought I'd look to see what they were. No sign of them on the website. Does this mean they're top secret or I need to change the settings to see more stuff?

Big thread here for FR24 stuff

A lot of military stuff doesnt show on Flight Radar. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ often shows the stuff that FR24 doesnt, you can even filter to just military stuff clicking the U in the top right corner. It has playback feature so if you are really interested you can go back to earlier. Just note the time is UTC not BST

Thanks, very interesting, though it won't play back today, only yesterday. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow!

I use https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ shows everything that's pinging a transponder, set it military to filter them.

As above - use ADSB Exchange, it tends to show more than FR24 does. But even then it won't show everything. I've had plenty of military aircraft fly over the house low level and they won't show up.
