If that's a road to the left (with telephone poles) then the black object is the size of a small compact car.

Sizes and perspective can be deceptive in aerial / satellite photography. Those lines are not telephone poles, they are most likely floodlight stands, approximately 10m tall - note their positions along and around the base. From the angle of the shadows, it also looks like the photograph was taken at about 8 or 9 in the morning. In addition, this photo was taken at about 1m resolution, about what you'd expect from civilian recon satellites. The aircraft in question appears to be about 7-10m long. A Mig-25 Foxbat is about 20m long, so I reckon it must be a UAV of some description. However, I'm assuming those apron squares are standard, ie 5m, which they seem to be given the size of those trucks parked nearby.

The row of paired buildings below the concrete apron are most likely hangars. The large one next to the black triangle seems to be a pair of hangars connected to a larger one - a large maintenance shop of some kind, like the ones for B-2s?

To Rimmer's question: the white box with the black things in it may be some kind of flammables disposal or storage pit, for nasty stuff that'll burn or blow up next to aircraft. I'm only guessing, though.

Good find, ShadowMan. I just wonder if it's real - but if it's got the FAS stamp on it, it's at least fairly certain to be authentic.

Looks like a Mach 5 or 6 waverider, maybe, or some kind of lifting body re-entry vehicle. Perhaps something along the lines of the X-33 program.

Closest thing from your theory i found was this picture of the X-33 www.tc.cornell.edu...
