You've found a image anomaly! It's called a flare ! See the other plane on the ramp with a "funny" tail? The Concordes has been placemarked,and are accounted for elsewhere!

It looks to me like a Tupolev TU-160 'Blackjack'. I say this because it has variable geometry wings (concorde doesn't). And it doesn't have the flowing lines of the B-1 Lancer, which leaves only one possibility for an aircraft of that shape (too wide to be a 'TU-22 Binder').
How it got there is a mystery, I think its an image anamoly.

I'm impressed. I just can't believe you have not looked closer.
First, there is not a single Concorde resting in peace on Mexican ground.
Second, it is the AeroMéxico maintenance base in MEX/MMMX airport, where a lot of DC-9 and MD-80's are parked and repaired, and where they have got no space to park strange experiments.
Third, it is so obvious you are looking at a sunlight flare.
Fourth, if you take out the flare, you will notice it is clearly an ordinary commercial aircraft, suspiciously looking much too similar to a DC-9 or a "Mad Dog" MD-80 in AeroMéxico colors.
It takes more than a pinch of wit to read satellite images!
