Missile in flight on Google Earth?

[senamun]

According to search here this should be new:

On Google earth you see sometimes interesting things. I came along this image what seems to be a missile.

Images can be hoaxed but also directly on Google Earth? The original link with the Google map is here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=38%C2%B013%2736.38%22N,+112%C2%B017%2756.59%22W&layer=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=18&ll=38.22631,-112.298598&spn=0.00287,0.006781&t=k&iwloc=addr)

The coordinates are: 38°13'36.38"N, 112°17'56.59"W which places it in the state of Utah. On the link u can zoom out so maybe anyone with knowledge of the area can give some comments?

Its not a missile. Its a civilian airliner with tail mounted engines. Look at the two contrails behind it. Yes there are two, they merge into one, but initially there are two seperate contrails. Which missile in the US inventory has two engines?

and which civilian ariliner has stubby wings.

If you look cloesly, there are ordinary wings on it. You can even se the cockpit windows up front. I think...

The wings didn't show up well in the image. Which missile has two engines?

Look harder, you can see the wings, its just they are the same luminosity as the ground, if the imagery was in colour, then it would stand out more.

Heres a little manipulation I made to fake in some colour to better show the shape of the aircraft.

A13X has wrapped it up and put a pretty bow on the box.
