[MilCom] Big honkin' jet flew over

[Duane Mantick]

Wonder if anybody caught any comms - about 6:15 PM eastern AKA 22:15 UTC over
Lafayette, IN,  SE to NW............BIIIIIG contrail, BIIIIIG plane.  My fairly new camera was
able to zoom in partway, and I can zoom some more on the camera's back display.
 
Clearly 4 engines, bottom of aircraft light possibly white.  Tail - horiz stabilizers low-mounted (not t-tail), single vertical stabilizer.  Wings appear quite long and swept well
back guessing 35 to 45 degrees........wings appear darker as if light gray or gray-blue.
Engines are BIG, diameter close to or slightly exceeding 1/2 the width of fuselage.  Hard
to tell if wings are low or high mounted.  Nose catches the eye - best shot is from side
*opposite* the sun, and it looks as if there is a kinda dark stubby radome up front with a
dark stripe extending back about half-way to the leading edge of the wing.
 
Any gueses?
 
(probably unrelated but just to mention - an hour or so earlier an F18 was making some
passes down low at the Purdue Univ. airport - last seen gear down headed for the deck)
