Plane identification

I saw a plane this morning take off from Ellington Field which is heavily used by NASA. The plane seemed to have a narrow fuselage, huge tapered wings (long wingspan and huge chord), a pretty darn big tail rudder, and looked like it had 2 jet engines suspended below the wings fairly near the fuselage.

It looked somewhat like a U-2 in this photo, but not exactly.



The wing to fuselage proportions seemed very similar to this.




Anyone got any ideas?
