I remember when they wanted to test some missiles from Eglin AFB, Pensacola Fl into Alabama. Don’t know if they did.

Don’t think Utah is considered populated.
Well, since I live in “fly-over” country, I have a different perspective on that.

If you are going to fly missiles around Utah seems a good place in the US to do it. Lots of desert.

Can’t be a cruise missle… compare that picture to a view of my house at the same ‘zoom’ level. A cruise missle wouldn’t be much bigger than one of the cars in my driveway, that think appears to be well over 100 ft (granted it could be a mile or two off the ground and closer to the satellite, but satellites orbit over a 100 miles above the ground, right? so the perspective wouldn’t be that different..) That think looks closer to the size of a passenger jet (that’s like an MD-80 or so)
If it’s a cruise missle, it’s one hella big cruise missle…

There’s no way that’s a jet. Where are the wings?
I said cruise missile, but I’m not an expert on that sort of thing. Maybe it’s another type of missile, but it still looks like a missile to me.

Maybe it’s banking a very, very hard turn and so the wings are pointing straight up and down.... I’m not claiming to be an expert either, just pointing out it appears to be very, very large. I don’t know of any missiles that large other than ICBMs or something (although I think those are even bigger than the thing appears to be in the picture.)

I think it’s an UFO on the way to help us solve global whining.

You know, if you look closely, right where the white bumps are a little past midway down, there do appear to be wings. They are dark and blend in, but there is a definite swept back shape going out from both of those bumps. I think that’s a plane who’s wings are just painting grey or black so they blend into the ground. Take a close look.

Taking a second look, you can even see tailwings coming out of the back, also dark color and blend in. It’s definently a plane, it’s got wings, they are just very hard to see…
