What's This?

Attached file should open into Google Earth, if you have it installed.

It's tagged as a cruise missile but the "wings" look a little too short.
It's flying in an apparently straight line across Utah, USA.

Looks like a 737 with dark wings. Exhaust trail behind indicates 2
engines - fuselage mounted.

Its an IVBM
Inter Village Ballistic Missile.
But the Guys from Circleville missed the airstrip in Juction, inflicting
some damage on a forestal road near Delano Peak instead.

Except that the 737 has wing-mounted engines. Maybe it's the FBI's BAU
en route to another exciting episode of "Criminal Minds". Have you
noticed that wherever they go, there's always a black Chevy Suburban
waiting for them?

The 737 has wing mounted engines. The engines, if the two white spots are
engines, are very near to the wing roots. Thus I think it is a Gufstream IV.

CJR Looks Like Delta Note the dark nose under, around the cockpit.

Aurora stealth transport taking captured terrorists off to "Rendition"?

It lands at San Clemente Island, California, ever so often too.

It's pulling a contrail, which indicates it's flying somewhere between 31
and 45 thousand feet....Maybe a little lower or higher, depending on the
day..

Not a cruise missile, which operates down on the deck. No contrail.

Yes, I'm with you. Particularly in view of the fact that the bizjets with
fuselage-mounted engines tend to have the wings a long way back.

I thing either DC-9 or B-727 with engines mounted on rear fuselage.
