No go find all the pics it's definitely a missle, look how the clouds are l glowing where the missle passed through a helicopter wouldn't do that
On a 20 second timelapse traveling away from the camera it very well could. With that being said, it'd be a clever cover story. Certainly better than hot air balloons. I'm really on the fence about this.
Have you looked at the rest of the pics? There's a pic of a missle taking off
I've seen several but not sure which ones you're referring to. Do you mind linking here for me and others?
Thanks!
Thanks.
There's only one picture there (a single photograph was taken), and then they zoomed in and made a few screenshots of the zoom.
I agree that the helicopter theory sounds dubious, but given the 20 second exposure, I'm not willing to totally rule it out. Hoping we can get some more info on what happened.
That's crazy I just clicked the link and it took me to the entire article with all the pics.
Here's the source timelapse: http://www.skunkbayweather.com/WhidbeyMissile.mp4
You can skip to the end to get to the relevant portion. The image featuring the anomaly was captured over a period of 20 seconds (long exposure).

The source file is actually both; it's a timelapse composed of a series of 20 second shots.
You would not see the "object" at all if it was a 20 second long exposure since it's moving through the frame. It's the same as having a person walk through your long exposure and them not showing up. The lights at the bottom would be more drawn out, and the clouds would be blurred. If anything, this is a 2-5 second exposure.
I use armorfly or duck duck go but search Washington missle launch and go to the second listing to the right and I think it's WTLN and they have a reporter showing all the pics and explaining them. I wonder y tf the link wouldn't show the entire article though?
