I spotted this recently. The distance and poor camera makes it really hard to determine what it is. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

2$\begingroup$ It could be some kind of top secret aircraft. Did you take this picture and if you did than where. $\endgroup$– EthanCommented Sep 8, 2015 at 23:32

Took a fair bit of trial and error on the very vague registration on the port wing :)
F-PDHV (D-Plane 1)
The Verhees D-Plane 1 is a Belgian homebuilt flying wing, designed by Verhees Engineering and supplied as plans for amateur construction.

8$\begingroup$ @Dan This is often the problem with photos that have no frame of reference: You can't tell if it's something really big flying very high, or something fairly small flying very low. $\endgroup$– voretaq7Commented Sep 9, 2015 at 17:06

4$\begingroup$ @J... in fact it wasn't an aircraft at all. That was just swamp gas you saw. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 10, 2015 at 15:22
