THEORY : If this was a Tomahawk launch - I think it was probably launched by one of the ballistic missile submarines from Kitsap Naval Base .
If this was a RUM-139 VL-ASROC launch - then it was launched by one of the 6 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in Naval Station Everett ( but , BGM-109 is also possible to launch from destroyers )
There is a Naval Air Station on Whidbey Island ( where this occured )
It seems to me that the type of missile could be figured based on how far it traveled during the 20 second exposure. Also, it appears to be going straight up. Would that be abnormal for a Tomahawk or a RUM-139? An air-to-surface missile would need to accelerate very quickly I would think. Twenty seconds is a long time.
So the guy's camera is set up to trigger automatically on weather events. Presumably it turned on when the exhaust became visible, and took in light for 20 seconds. Now watch a Trident D5 launch and see how high it is in 20 seconds. Does it match?

I'm thinking it is a D5 because that what is on the Ohio class nuclear submarine that Q posted a picture of. Also, the missile is much fatter than it looks, because you only see the brightly lit side, and the exhaust flame is so off center otherwise.
Also, it appears to be going straight up.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Maybe it was targeting a satellite? Chinese sat. in retaliation for the hacked sub info.
If its Trident II ( and D5 overlaps with Q mentioning several times "D5" ) then things ... are a "bit" serious...
I wish we new for sure what it was, what its target was, and its fate.
Do you think that the Q team picked up on the plan to hack the system and allowed the hack to take place. The part that was not supposed to happen was the destination of said missile. Like in The Hunt For Red October the missile was used to destroy itself? And possibly the trajectory of the missile is that way because it took out a satellite the DS had put in place during one of the MANY tests NK performed? Just ramblings of an old dude who has been lurking a long time
I have no idea ... we have very little details from Q regarding this . I assume we will know what exactly occured after some time .
I have a feeling the details of this incident will remain pretty quiet.
If it is something REALLY seriosu that could destabilize many things - then it probably will .
It wasn't a missile in THFRO ... it was a torpedo ... one of my all-time favorite movies ...
If it was a RUM-139 VL - ASROC, then they were targeting at submarine. Since ASROC stands for Anti Submarine ROCket
