It's funny that I found this thread tonight.  My dad just got done telling me that when he was little, he saw a huge 6 engine bomber fly over his house around the year 1955.  He told his mom and dad, and they didn't think anything of the sort existed at the time.  After a bit of research, we found out it was a B-36 Peacemaker, which is a pretty damned cool push prop bomber...



Sorry for the hijack, just thought it was interesting.

As for the picture, I don't see engines on the wings, I'd go with a small private jet as well, particularly because of how close the trails are together.

Look closer on the first picture, I can see the outline of 2 large engines on the right wing along with the fact the thie wings look alot longer compared to the fueselage than the citation does

Yep, RB-57.

Chinese Air Force probably leased it from Google.   :D

RB-57, yup, & it ain't orange either. That's bad photo quality without filters reflecting orange sunset. I'm not talking about the grainy photo, but the filtering. IMO

If you zoom right in I think you'll see the shadows of two engines in the wing, like the meteor but closer to the body
