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.

I'm 95% positive that ths shockwave vapor component of the pic is from
either an F-14 or F/A-18...I know I've seen that before, but it's one
of those two Navy birds in the middle of it.

I belive it was an F/A-18.

Including this one, which various l00ns have claimed represents a B-2
breaking the sound barrier:

actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is
c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m

That looks more like a B-2 shedding carbon fiber.

You mean it's not a picture of it de-cloaking?
