Looks more like the older X-47A Pegasus than the current X-47B, but could be covered.

Registered office of ImageCels / Realworld Imagery - remember these guys?

So, after no email responses over several months I managed to find a couple of phone numbers on the whois page for RealworldImages.com. I was 99% sure the company was dead, but on the third call someone from Realworld answered the phone. Unfortunately, the lady on the line seemed very suspicious and didn't want to divulge any information.

I explained that I had emailed them several times and wanted to ask some questions. Several variants on this were met with:

"I'm sorry, Sir, we do not participate in any written articles about our company."

I tried to explain I wasn't even writing an article any more (the original email suggested I might be at some point), but I was just interested in how far their imagery had spread around the world. When I asked about the history of the images, I got:

"I'm sorry, Sir, as I've said, we do not divulge any information about the company or our images."

Same answer when I asked if there was any reason why she didn't want to talk to me.

Then she hung up.
