Can I ask how you created/plotted the grey dotted rectangular box on

That is the position ambiguity for that APRS station, which is in fact an aircraft. For whatever reason this person chose to transmit only about 3 or 4 digits of position data which leaves a pretty large area of uncertainty. This box with a dotted outline is xastir's way of telling you "it's somewhere inside this box". IIRC, "station -> filter display -> display position ambiguity" controls the display of this box.
