It's a color coded tracking of all the airline flights in the US over a 24 hour window. Awesome.

Interesting how you can see the east coast wake up about half way through and then spread west. Cool vid.

Some of those planes seem to be landing in open ocean? Take a look at 5:19 GMT, there is a distinct location NE of Hawaii and W of California where a bunch of planes are always converging. Is there some secret island there that I'm not aware of?
