Sure looks like youre right. Youve got anything bigger than cruise missiles? These are quite big..

Cruise missiles are about 20' long, these measure in at over 36'. Cruise missile facts
Any idea what they could be? Taken from the shadow on the ground they sure look to be in flight! Also guided missiles come in various sizes as far as I know, but 20-21ft seems to be the maximum I found.

I cant really find a missile thats exactly 38 feet in lenght. But then again, whatever this is would probably not be official..

I don't have too much faith in the precision of the measurements so looking for anything over 30ft would probably be ok in my opinion. i haven't found anything yet that fits the bill.

Correct me if I am wrong, but GE measuring tool is measuring as if the item in on the ground. If the item is in flight it will actually be closer that GE thinks and therefor will measure larger than its actual length.

At the altitude it seems to be flying at, this effect will be negligible. For example, for it be measured at 100ft in flight and 50ft in reality, the aircraft has to be flying at half the altitude of the satellite that took the picture.
