Looking at the new pictures of the aircraft graveyard - found these - no clue what they are.

Look kind of like the first test planes of super sonic flight but I could not find an exact image match. They might be mock-ups perhaps.

Maybe gliders to test airframe designs or something experimental that never got anywhere.
I have no idea, and can't find a thing about an aircraft with that configuration.

They look similar to the MiG-105. I seem to remember I had a Matchbox model of something very similar that was a 'spaceplane'. Also maybe scramjet prototypes. Whatever it was it was not made for taking corners.
 

Looks like the same sort of lines- built for speed, not a dogfight.
I'm guessing they were experimentals that outlived their use, or towed drones or gliders to test airframe design.
I'm wondering what they were.
Whatever they are, they look cool.
