I just saw a strange airplane.

I live in the Florida Panhandle. I was sitting on my porch watching a couple of commercial airliners probably from Panama City. They were both headed roughly NW but in slightly different directions.

As they faded in the distance, I saw another approaching from just slightly South of West and headed just barely North of East. It immediately struck me as different from the others. First it appeared to be going much faster and second, it just looked different.

I was viewing through good Nikon Tropical 7X50 binoculars and it looked almost like a cruise missile but more probably a large drone. I realize a cruise missile could not start from my area and reach any interesting place.

I took two quick photos but it was so far away that they are little more than blobs. I will upload one anyway and post it just in case anyone can recognize what it is.

I do want to stress just how fast it was moving tho I never heard a sonic boom.

Cropped to an extreme degree and like I said hardly more than a blob but just maybe someone recognizes what it is.

It's Superman or Supergirl. No, I'm wrong. It's both of them. 😉

Consider getting the iPhone app Flightradar24.
You point your phone’s camera at the sky toward a plane you want to identify, and it shows the sky, live photo/viewfinder, with flight plan information overlaid & pointing at the plane. (Think: binoculars that caption what your’re looking at.)
