The AK scans don’t match the flight at all though
Agree. See my earlier post about the (possibly) manually entered scans. Still have faith it's this flight though, given its unusual, irregular itinerary (PVG-CGO-ANC-SDF-ORD), and the fact that no other non-US cargo carrier outside of UPS itself would fly to SDF, and that Air China Cargo doesn't even have it as a searchable destination on their website. This has to be a special flight coordinated with UPS.

Did you have the 8:34PM Depart Anchorage Facility update as well? I'm a little confused by the scan times and the flight time at this point.

The flight was delayed leaving ANC, according to FlightAware. It could have had the departure scan when the flight was originally scheduled to depart, but was delayed after the departure scan. It is scheduled to land at SDF (Louisville, KY) at 12:24pm EDT.

It was scheduled to depart at 2:00 AM AKDT, so it's not really delayed (takeoff was at 2:31 AM). Actually expected to arrive SDF a bit early (scheduled arrival is 12:30 PM EDT).
 
So our departure scans are 6 hours before the flight actually left. If they really are on an earlier plane, it could have landed 3.5 hours ago...
The departure scan means it was loaded on the plane so it is no longer "at" the UPS facility. It doesn't mean that is when the plane departed.
 
It is odd no doubt. I think though by this time tonight we will have considerable more clarity. It’s also possible they sit in KY for a few days with sorting etc
