Maybe a glitch in communication with your device.

I look at Flightradar quite often, and have never seen that.

The Russians....or maybe it's their subs....

here's the difference between blue and yellow ones.

Flightradar24 is the first flight tracking service which offers space-based ADS-B-tracking. The blue planes on the map are tracked from a satellite and the yellow ones are tracked from the regular earth-based radar stations.
