As an update to my WB-57 story, I just discovered the flight
track on FlightAware.com. Turns out it was tail number NASA926,
and have added the flight track image to my webpage. Also, the
page name has changed, although the previous one has a link
to the correct one.

After looking at the track, it looks like they sure did nail the saight line
portion of the flight plan. All of the tracks are superimposed on top of
each other, so accurately, that they look like one line. Interesting. I
wonder what they are testing.

I took some pictures of that plane, while it was at OSH a few years back.
It is not apparent in your photos how huge the wing span is, or who big of
an aspect ratio it has. It really does look like a sailplane, when you see
it, in person.
