It's a passenger plane with it's shadow on the ground (red) you see.

Nonetheless, its a pretty darn messed up looking shadow; Nice find! Welcome to GEH!

Doesn't seem like the shadow is in the right place. If you look at the rest of the buildings and structures you'll see the shadows are on the left of them.

Oddly, the supposed "shadow" is on the right of the plane. Not consitent with the rest of the picture.

Might be something else purposely edited out from the picture. Also the contrail from the plane isn't consistent.

The shadow is not on the ground. It's a movement ghost. That's why it doesn't match the ground shadows. The forward aircraft is the 'value', basically a black and white image of the airplane. The rear one is the same aircraft a fraction of a second later and represents the colors of the aircraft. Either the plane is red, or they tried to adjust the colors of the satellite tile to make things more visible and consequently ruined the colors of the plane's ghost.
