Definitely a missile! Fair play to the sad, sad person for scanning every inch of the planet to find it!

Note the black wings - I saw this on some other page the other day. It's definitely a plane.

im more surprised that there is a google earth forum tbh.

my cousin has a plane flying over his back yard. although, his back yard is 72 acres.
in google earth that is. the plane is in google earth.

it doesnt just fly in a cirlce over his back yard all day.

that would just be stoopid.
