Missile FLying over Utah? Caught By Google Earth

I think coloring the Wings on the actual plane is out of the question as Nygdan pointed out...

Aircract wings, if they're painted at all, are painted nice uniform grey color. If you look closely at the image, you can see where the white ends, there are two slightly darker shapes coming back at an angle from the white. They're at an angle though, as aircraft wings are swept for speed issues.

I sometimes wish I didn't live in Utah at times like these. Then again what fun would it be if I didn't, right? This is a great find. Good post!

Bloody Hell, that looks JUST like Dr. Evil's rocket from Austin Powers!!! Seriously, its probably a fake. Scary,though. What if....

McDonald Douglas is in Utah.

But then again.............so is the 'new' area 51.

Very interesting. And yes when you zoom in you see what appears to be painted wings or something of the sort. I live in UT and who knows. It's about an hour and a half away from me anyway.

Many thanks and kudo's to the origional poster on this one. This was one hell of a find on Google Earth.
