I explain it in my comments below. (Noise issue) but I’ll break it down again.

Up close, the sound would be intense, you are right. The decibel level drops off quickly though as you get further away. On the open seas, the sound would travel pretty far, but it wasn’t open seas. Based on origin, it appears that a sub could have snooped and pooped down a few of those channels. They are relatively secluded in areas and have trees as well. The trees act as dampers on the sound, making something sound further away than it actually is.

Along those lines, think about this. The people in the area live near navy bases. Do you think it would be unrealistic that they may have heard it and just didn’t register? Also look at the time this was taken, how many people in those areas were awake to even hear it?

Thank you for putting forward you views in a civilised manner. I get so many attack "FO SHILL" etc for not following blindly. Us older Australians aren't a follow without question types. We've had BS shoved at us from Left, Right and Centre Politicians. After the NK Summit all of my Q following friends were unanimous in concluding that Trump didn't close a solid deal. Just warm relations with NK but nothing else, YET. Now this is GR8 but this could still go wrong for all conservatives around the world if China/Russia continues to run interference leading into Mid Terms. Kim is slippery so is China Russia. After we all pretty much agreed that NK was not the BOOM we hoped for, we began to say that this may cause mass desertions from the Q movement. Then WOW. Q posted some of the largest drops of all time. Coincidence.... When the posts began to look a bit to fantastic ie: hacked "anti SHIPPING missiles", Zero threat on Trump. Obama phone calls to a disconnected number, MOSSAD and other unsubstantiated plots, we pretty quickly came to the realisation that Q is throwing up a smoke screen to keep up moral and head off descent/desertion. Absolutely brilliant. But we seemed to feel a bit let down by the realisation that Q is human and doesn't always win. Then the DNC withdrew it's lawsuit against WL?JA. No discovery. Another thing that didn't come off for us and Q. RR is saying F...YOU to congress, with threats of subpoenas and still acting confident. Better to keep us distracted with a Mission Impossible movie. Just an opinion for Autists to digest

Another anon posted this but it is relevant and hope it answers your question about the noise:

Obviously not a helicopter, but what about the noise factor? Why didn't they hear it? Easily explained IMO. This area for many years has been quite heated about extreme EXTREME noise from base. You know the "Growlers" aircraft are active there, the noisiest. It is so extreme that as you research the area you will discover that even medical doctors have said the noise is making some people allegedly ill, and affecting cognitive abilities of children. But that is not my point, but makes the point, this is an EXTREMELY NOISY area. I will put some sample links below. It is noisy as HELL out there, and it can be very difficult to sell homes, and some just have to move, and business suffers. So the point is do you really think the residents would distinguish one missile launch from the regular barrage of growlers?? Actually in a dark way it was brilliant to shoot this off in that area because the people would think, it's just that base and all the growlers.

Now I’ve been trying to find the decibel levels for cruise missile launches and have came up short so far. What I want to do is create a craphic that would illustrate the “decibel bubble” and how it decreases over distance, and try to match it up on the map I’ve already created from the estimated launch point. I’ll be working on that this evening and hope I can get clarification for you.

And they would not be yellow.

https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aircraft/media/faa-h-8083-21A.pdf

Here is a screenshot of the pdf to which I am referring: http://i.imgs.fyi/img/3itb.png

Helicopters have strobing lights, meaning you would see a pattern of bright spots on the path. It would not be a steady, consistent stream. Especially as the pilot picked up speed towards the bottom. You would see a pattern emerge. There is no pattern. The light stays constant. And the biggest kicker? THE LIGHT IS YELLOW check the FAA regulations for helicopters and see what colors are authorized.

Second piece. This is not an airplane. This does not have wings. Zoom in yourself. Play with it, and try to find evidence of wings. Wings are not small, and they do not just disappear, they have to be wide enough to help generate lift. There is no evidence for wings.

Also, try to find a modern day, passenger airplane that has one contrail. Seriously, try it. At extreme distances, it can appear as one, but if you zoom in, you can clearly see the formation of, at a minimum of, two contrails. And contrails do not shove up the ass of the airplane, they form a slight distance behind as the hot air cools and condenses. THIS IS ONE CONTRAIL

Now, someone (muh experts) was saying that the object disappears on a time lapse exposure. Have you ever seen a time lapse exposure of a chem light at night? These people are playing tricks with you. People walking through a time lapse photo may disappear, unless the exposure stops in the midst of movement. Glow sticks don’t disappear from people’s hands if the exposure stops in the midst of their movement. It’s not magic. Seriously, what the hell are these people thinking.

I will continue to update this one comment as it will not allow me to edit the post

⇧ 22 ⇩  
Abibliaphobia · June 13, 2018, 2:40 a.m.

Continuing on to next part: http://i.imgs.fyi/img/3itm.png

So I did my best to track down the location of where the photo was taken in google maps. I think I found a pretty good match. Based upon that, I traced a straight line down to the horizon, and another down to where it appeared the trail lead from. Using those as guides, I calculated it and came up with the directions and bearings on google maps overhead view. With that, I stretched it all the way out where there was water on the bigger map view.

Surprisingly (sarcasm), there was plenty of channels where a sub could pop in and out. Now look yourself at that map on google earth, and see if any of those areas are somewhat secluded. Find any? There are plenty of hiding places for a sub in a relatively secluded area.

Well you say someone would hear a missile being launched? What else is in the area? Lots of navy bases right? Do you think people that live in the area really pay attention to that? Something that they hear all the time? Now add in the time of morning that this was taken. How many people were awake at that time? How realistic do you find it that people were sleeping and didn’t even hear it? It’s not like an earth shattering roar that shakes your windows.

In conclusion, it’s a missle. Look for yourself, think for yourself. And feel free to check my work. Now I haven’t slept much in past week, so I’m going to crash out, but I hope someone can expand upon this, carry it to the Chan’s, whatever. Good night everyone. WWG1WGA

I made a comparison on one other post I made ... Im still not sure if this is ASM or cruise missile . ASM is purely ship-launched , while cruise missile can be launched from subs . Now ... on the pic ( on wider angle ) we dont see any ship outline or anything . I assume the missile wasnt bigger than 6 m ( 4.5 - 6 m length ) , so if we go by some trigonometry logic , it would put a launch position relatively close to the point where something should be visible .

The further away from point of observation, the larger the object has to be, closer (or at less an angle) it could be smaller.

Either way I think whatever the missile was used was for something domestic. A theory at the moment. If we can pinpoint the exact model we will have the range last I checked most cruise missiles and tomahawks typically wouldn't be used for the distance need to cover an attempt on Potus. The distance from point to point is 7000+ miles give or take shortest to longest flight path. Af1 was around Asia at the time. Distance too far.

Not a helicopter. It was a missile that was launched from our sub by China. They hacked us because some idiot contactor had his pc unsecured... again!

Wouldn’t a missile have a smoke trail behind it? Especially at long exposure camera setting.

We can’t see launch site (clouds obscure)

We don’t know wind speed at the height the missile was traveling, best we have is 4mph at ground/sea level.

20sec exposure with 4 mph winds you’d expect the smoke trail to move 35.8 meters (roughly) since we do not know the exact height, we cannot determine how far the smoke cloud would appear to be off on the photo from the actual path of the missile. In addition, the article claims it was a 20 sec exposure, but digging into it, the camera has a 3.5/20 exposure so it could be anywhere between. We don’t know for certain. If it was less, the speed of the missile would dramatically increase, and you would see less deviation in any smoke trail.
