    I love these. Have you seen the missile in-flight in Utah? Do a quick search for 38.226772, -112.299053 and zoom in…

    Cool find!
    Brett: That is not a missile, its a passenger jet with darker wings that makes them hard to see. Look closely and you will see them.

    It’s not a missile. If you zoom in, you can see the wings and rear mounted engines of an airliner.
