Doubt it. Wrong colour engines for a start - maybe a Delta/Comair CRJ?

It's something CRJ-600/Global Express proportions, maybe a MD-8X. There's a couple of airlines, but top views are hard to come by! Grin

Unlikely to be an MD, using the measurement tool, it comes closer to the size of a CRJ.

I think the only reason you'd see a missile in flight over that part of the US is if it were under attack from Mexico. The military has a habit of testing their missiles over much less populated areas.

Yeah, the military prefers more remote areas, like the Tonopah Test Range (37*35'14.95"N, 116*55'13.97"W).

Note: please ignore the idiots saying stuff about Area 51 entry points... Tonopah is a live fire weapons test range. The "Secret Tunnel entrances are most likely targets, as are all the aircraft and tanks on the range. Not to mention that area 51 is almost 65 miles away, and they would never get the funding to build a tunnel 65 miles long no matter who's ass the CO kissed.

That would be it. If you look very closely you can see the faint outline of the wings against the ground. They are very difficult to spot because of the resolution and color of the wings and ground.

He's right. it's a bit easier to spot the CRJ wings if you zoom out a bit, to about 2.40 kilometers altitude. When i still thought it was a missile, it seemed little weird as it looks as if it has a cockpit. some japanese kamikaze sh!t, maybe?

You should definately try to fly the 757 once. it's like a rocket!
