Could it be a SR-71? The color, size and shape (as far as I can see) is similar. It stopped flying about 10 years ago but maybe it is a huge memorabilia in the Dryden hangars.

Yeah U2 was what I suspected but it just seems so tall compared to that Global Hawk (which isn't that short).

U2's fuselage doesn't extend behind the vertical stabilizer, according to this: there is an SR-71 on display at Dryden "SR-71A #17980 - On display at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center as #844" It is one of the two Blackbirds NASA used for research in the late 90's

I was thinking that was the U2 nose actually…
