My vote is a jetliner, sun shining off the rear

Sorry, wish it was a XB-70 variant!

Wish I had a camera walking home from school today, saw the exact same image without the contrails or glare.  Plane may have been turning slightly, but it looked exactly like the plane pictured.

I see an Iranian super stealth, subspace guided,  airborne anti torpedo- torpedo, with matter-antimatter highly ionisfied markIII warp capable engines in full impulse mode.

It may be interesting to note that this system is capable of firing, not 1, but an entire volley of, .177 calibre lead encased BB's.

You guys really oughta do something about that.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.

Thats a 737 with the new blended winglets.

From Boeing:
