Hey, it is noted in the article that this is a satellite image, and I don’t see the plane anywhere in the shot. So either:

A) The plane is above the satellite, which probably would require an even larger plane to cast such a deep shadow effectively,

B) The plane is far away horizontally and actually bigger than the estimated 3 miles length to compensate,

C) It is just a simple scaled down cardboard replica with someone’s kid’s platic toy plane casting a shadow on it,

D) It is a big Chinese Dickbutt drawn to imitate a plane’s shadow so that the photographing satellite would say “oh shit” and look over its shoulder, as part of the prank.
