US Airlines Ground Flights After 'Screwworm' Pattern Spotted in Plane Tracking Data
A technical analyst discovered a strange, repeating "screwworm" spiral in the flight paths of three separate aircraft over the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday. The anomaly, which appears as a tight, clockwise corkscrew on radar logs, was flagged by automated systems as a "non-human piloting signature." Aviation authorities have temporarily grounded all flights in the region pending a full investigation into the mysterious glitch.
