The measured wingspan using Google Earth's ruler is around 64.30 meters which limits the possibilities (if it is indeed a passenger airliner) of it being an Airbus A340 that have a 63.70 meter wingspan but the A340 is only 75.30 meters for the longest 600 series version.
The aircraft found here in flight measures over 79.50 meters which I thought to be a stretched version but there is no record of a stretch to one being made.
It may be that Googles ruler is inaccurate (unlikely as measurements check with Google Maps and it's usually very accurate). It may be an atmospheric anomaly that affects the image being taken giving an inaccurate measurement or it may be a super secret military aircraft made by an alien race.
