Observe. Document. Research. Understand.

SkyWatch is a grassroots platform bringing together firsthand observations, aircraft data, and scientific research to help people investigate what's happening in our skies. We combine community-submitted reports with publicly available flight records, atmospheric and weather data, and government research — encouraging evidence, transparency, and public participation. Unverified observations are never presented as established facts.

Live tracking

Aircraft data integration is prepared and being finalized with a flight-data provider. Live tracking is disabled until access is confirmed; the map shows clearly-marked demo aircraft.
