For the pas few weeks there is an aircraft showing on ADS-B and I can't work it out.
It is about 75 miles off north west cost of Ireland.
Its a static item, icon looks like airport vehicle rather than aircraft.
Callsign or Reg is TXP1000, Danish registered
Showing 146 kts at 61,500 ft.
What is it, high flying baggage trolley, baby robin, weather balloon, Dracs iPad?
Can someone translate?

What’s ADS-B?
It’s frequently mentioned on threads about aircraft, particularly military aircraft; it’s a tracking site that shows details of aircraft in flight all over the world, although there’s no guarantee that an aircraft flying overhead will always show up on the ‘site - there was something very noisy flew over where I work the other day, but it was above the fairly low cloud, heading south>north. I got a very brief glimpse of it, it was quite a large jet, but there was nothing showing on ADS-B. It looked rather like a B1-B Lancer, and a couple of those have been flying in and out of RAF Fairford, as have some B-52’s, and I did see one of those a while back, flying the exact same route, which also didn’t show up on ADS-B.
