It is a shot of a cruise missile in flight.

Actually, I don't believe it is. Have another look at the photo. It actually
appears to be a normal passenger type aircraft with dark painted wings. You
can actually see the wings in the photo if you look properly. Plus, there
are 2 engine vapour trails. [..]


Plus using the scale at the lower left, you can see that it has a
wingspan of about 100', making it 737 / etc sized.

Still, it is fun finding ships and planes on satellite photos.
