The UN photo shows the left wing grounded and the right wing up in the air. The red circled plane has its right wing grounded whereas the black circled plane has its left wing grounded. Does this not suggest the black circled one is the more likely of the two to be a match?

If you look at which wing is damaged, it appears to be the left. Of the two planes in the google image, it is the red one with left wing damage. The other appears to be missing most of it's right wing.

the black circled seems to have the right wing damaged. whereas the red circled and UN photo both have the left damaged

Count the number of engines on the planes. The ones one GE are clearly only twin engines, so the plane in the UN photo must be at a different location

According to various sources (including Wikipedia, which is fab for this sort of trivia), an AN-12 is ~33m long.

Using Google Earth's ruler, the top (circled in red) is ~30m long, and the bottom (in black) ~20m, so I'd go with the top one.

Mind, it's also possible that the plane in question isn't in this picture...

It's very possible one of the photographs got reversed during printing and reproduction.

...the black one doesn't have anything left of it's rear wings, on the tail, whereas the one in the witness photo does, as does the red one on Google Earth.

According to Google Earth's 'coverage' layer, the newest photos of that area are from mid-2006. Assuming that data is kept current anyway...

The black ringed aircraft can't be the one in the UN report because it has no tail surfaces. At a guess its been dumped some time ago and is being steadily cannibalised for spares, vandalised or both.

Its possible that the red ringed plane matches the UN photo but its odd that the engines don't show up apart from a black spot where each outer engine should be. I'd say there's a good change it too is a junker and has had its engines removed. The black spots could just about be the scaffolding used to take the engines off and left when the job was done.

Hardly surprising. Look to the lower right of the photo. Yup, black helicopters. Anything else you see is, therefore, your own problem.

Maybe even the black helicopters are fake. Possibly even faked by other, invisible, black helicopters. These may, in turn, have been faked by Flying Saucers (how else did they become invisible stupid?).

TeeCee

Clearly visible are the rotor blades, or their shadows. Thus the planes noted don't have any engine nacelles. Maybe they are parked gliders.
