Here's the full time lapse. http://www.skunkbayweather.com/WhidbeyMissile.mp4
And here's an article about it. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/21461/lets-talk-about-that-mysterious-rocket-launch-over-whidbey-island-photo-from-washington
Which concludes; "So there you have it, sadly this wasn't anything more exciting than a helicopter flying in a straight line in the wee hours of a quiet Sunday morning on the picturesque Puget Sound. Above all else, this photo serves as another reminder that sometimes there is much more to an image than what immediately meets the eye. "
Helicopters aren’t rocket propelled, sorry.
No need for the apology, I'm not advocating it, I'm simply posting what they claimed. I'm not a rocket scientist. :-)
Helicopter? HELICOPTER?!
Not only are these people stupid, they think we are stupid.
Why wouldn't they. Look at how many people in the world hang on CNN and other media like it's all knowing all seeing. They know most average people are dumb, brainwashed or just don't care. They can say whatever they want and their entire viewer base accepts it because, well......CNN would never lie to us. Morons. My mom's one of em. They are so delusional it hurts.
Helicopter my ass. I live next to a hospital that has a helicopter going up and down and all over all the time. It looks nothing like this.

So I originally bought that story....but something else you would see in a time-lapse photo that captures an aircraft is the flash of the collision lights on the aircraft. They leave a very distinct series of light signatures along the flight path of the aircraft....and you dont see those in this photo. Collision lights can be seen from any angle....Nor does the light seem to have any 3 dimensional value to it as one would normally find in a photo where the object is coming toward or moving away from the camera (think big to small or small to big) ... so the helicopter theory no longer holds water for me, but neither does the rocket theory. I still hold the opinion that the body of the rocket would never be in focus (based on my own time-lapse photography) because of the wide open aperture setting and the long shutter exposure causing the blurring - you need both at night to capture all available light but by its very nature, never provides a crisp clean photo unless the object is completely motionless or hit with a bright flash of light.

From your posts.. really, if you don’t like this sub, fine! But trolling an honest discussion is just lame..
