Could it be a glory?

Why's the fuselage blue and the wings more 'natural' metal? Even the tail has an orangish tint to it where there would be orange stripes. To me it looks like an out of focus airliner.

I'm not up to snuff on the ins and outs of satellite photography

Here's a good collection of world icons that I give to my students. Can you name them?

Yes, that's true. It's a motion ghost. The satellite takes two pictures, one black and white (the image itself) and another that's just colors. Google 'ghost aircraft' and google earth to see plenty of matches.

looks like the camera choose to give out the light spectrum instead of a shadow...

im with chairboy on this one. seen it before.

something to do with high altitude photos, light refraction or something .

definitely the 'shadow' of the plane.

two planes would show in the same light/colour no matter the different altitudes, as far as the camera thinks, they are both WAAAAAY down there.

some light refracted off a cloud of swamp gas, i guess.

as well all should know, black is made up of complimentary colours.

could just be possible that the shadow has enough time to refract into its seperate complimentary components between earth and satelite.

the shadow shows mostly blue and traverses the spectrum to a rich orange.

blue and orange make black? not sure, and not sure why we can see greens and yellows..... but im sure i am correct somewhere here.

Could be the defraction of the light as it has to pass through the atmosphere on the way back up.

Definitely an Alien craft shadowing one of our airliners.. umm and swamp gas
