With respect to the missile launch…I pulled up the nautical charts for that area- Puget Sound, Seattle. Looks like the main shipping lanes to the ocean. Looks like less than 100' of water in most parts along the lanes, so if it were a SUB, crazy ass captain risks scuttling it while submerged, and or getting hit over top from a ship.
Autist logic dictates, it was transport ship. Possible with sea containers. What better way to conceal a rocket launcher. Judging that the picture actually shows the missile, it could not have been that far away. a 30' misssile from the island would be a fleck compared to the image we have.
Still, the picture doesn't show the ship. that's were I'm stuck…. long exposure photo may not show the ship detail due to low light conditions??
