Comparing the image to the scale shown on Google Earth it appears that
the wingspan is @75Feet and the fuselage @97Feet. Those are just my
best guesses. The edges aren't very well defined on the image. Given
those sort of dimensions I don't believe this would qualify as a Cruise
Missile. For some comparison Airliners.net provided the following
dimensions.

Gulfstream IV is @78Foot Wingspan, @88feet in the Fuselage
DC9 is listed @90feet, @105Feet Fuselage
CRJ900 @82Feet, 120Feet
CRJ200 @70Feet, 87Feet

What airways(air highways) are in the area? Looks like it may be
heading from Arizona to Salt Lake Utah. My Google Earth says the image
was from Digital Globe April 7, 2006.

There are several flights between PHX and SLC that use the CRJ series.
So my guess would be a regional tripper that just happened to be caught
in the act by the passing Sat.

So a few more pieces to the puzzle...oh and a little tracking map that
shows a route that appears to be through the same area.
