I found a photo on the web which was described as a photo of a B-52
breaking the sound barrier. I do not believe this plane can do such a
thing in a positive manner. Is the photo genuine?

Doctored.
To me it looks like they took a real picture of a transonic plane, put the
Buff in it and then added clouds here & there about the airframe.
The condensation cloud isn't in the right place over the width of the wing
span and they went all "fluffy" with the clouds around the engines just to
name two points that are suspect.
