I do believe this aicraft is an MD80. The shape is right, it's just hard to tell with the distortion in front. I wonder why it's blending in with the ground though.....

I also think it's a MD-80 series airplane.

The color maybe, is coming from the sun reflection in a late afternoon.
The white shinning color of an airplane is looking like this.

It's definately a plane. If your turn your compass with the North pointing SW and soom in you see it better.
Then you clearly see the wings, rear horisontal stabilisators and the rear engine. It's a type like the one McMaster shows in his pic, a MD-80 type.
