Is this the US Air Force's secret 4,600mph spy plane? Mystery 'hypersonic aircraft' is captured in Google Earth images of a Florida airbase, claims conspiracy theorist

2018-01-11

[DailyMail] - US Air Force is believed to be developing a spy plane that travels at 4,600mph

- Secretive hypersonic plane is being developed by defence firm Lockheed Martin

- Google Earth images show an object that looks similar to the artist's impression

- Pictures were taken by UFO conspiracy theorists from SectureTeam10

- Many have dismissed the latest footage, saying it just shows a high speed boat
Visually impaired pig? Acorn?

Not buying the "high speed boat" hypothesis. Strakes (?) at rear look like they would interfere with performance? The "X" indicates an airfield.

VFR Chart indicates this may have been taken of Pratt and Whitney Private airstrip identified as Class Echo Restricted Airspace R-2936. With a Control Tower. See here.

I'm unfamiliar with the symbol depicted that resembles an iris.

Dunno.
