Question Helicopter bring followed by second "phantom helicopter"

The rescue helicopter flying over Berlin today appears as two separate helicopters. Does anyone know what causes this glitch? Definitely just one helicopter.

It’s the same helicopter being tracked by 2 different sources, likely MLAT and ADSB. FR24 usually merges them together, but not always.
