Weather Camera Captures Mystery Object Launching Into the Sky



The latest unexplained aerospace mystery comes out of Oak Harbor, Washington where high-definition weather cameras captured a true-to-life unidentified flying object on camera. This one, however, clearly has a terrestrial origin – although nobody seems to want to claim responsibility.

The weather cameras captured two images of what appears to be a missile or rocket launching from the northern end of the Kitsap Peninsula near Hansville, not far from the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. You might remember that air station from last year when fighter pilots created a skydrawing of a giant phallus in the skies above Washington

The footage was captured by Greg Johnson, who runs the Skunk Bay Weather website. Johnson quickly posted the footage to Facebook, writing that neither the nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island nor the Department of Defense claimed responsibility for the launch.

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island


Local news outlets in the Pacific Northwest have reached out for comment, but so far nobody is offering any answers. Is this merely a classified military launch, or is something far more secretive going on here? These so-called “black” rocket launches seem to be becoming more common over the last year, with everyone from SpaceX to the good ol’ fashion Soviet Union Russia joining in on the clandestine-but-quite-visible fun without offering any explanations.

Don’t we have a right to know what’s going on above our heads?

It would be good if there was actually a video of it.....but I find it odd they'd fire a missile off in that area.

But then since there is a trident missile base on Kitsap Island a missile launch test shouldn't be to surprising. So since its likely a military test it would be a good idea not to give out the details to the public.

These people have this all messed up. I know because I lived on Whidbey Island, been on the Naval Airstation, and flew models out of OLF Coopeville which is the Navy Carrier Practice Field.

I'm getting a lot of nonsense here, that's what I'm picking up on, and it's sounding like a cover up for some reason. You have to understand that this area is chock full of everything from soup to nuts involving military nuclear weapons, bases, airfields, naval yards, ports, submarine bases, ect, ect, ect, and let's not forget what the clowns at the Lazy B have hidden inside Mt Rainer.

For example, at Indian Island you are warned: "Deadly Force Authorized."

Hansville isn't even remotely close to NAS Whidbey. Whidbey is the second largest island in the Continental United States, it's 35 miles long and NAS Whidbey is almost 40 miles due north from Hansville and across the Puget Sound Waterway, which in that section is about 2 to 4 or more miles wide! Hansville isn't even on Whidbey, and the Air Station is on the other side and other end of Whidbey!

I think that Hansville is closer to the Trident Nuke Subs and Indian Island than it is to NAS Whidbey. There's nothing on NAS Whidbey other than some ancient P3 Orion Sub Hunters and sometimes some extremely ugly A6~Prowlers. Oh once in a while the Airfarce does something to piss the Navy Off but the Marines F-18's from the Abraham Lincoln run them off pretty quickly, and then for fun and games the Canadians pretend to launch a sneak attack coming down Saratoga Passage but are quickly spotted since they never think to lower the flying Maple Leaf battle ensign.

Here's another video news report, I wish it was video footage of the alleged missile instead of snapshots...

Yea, I'd sure like to see what it caught. A couple years ago I happened just catch a glimpse of some nearly invisible object which had what looked like a flame around the leading edge. It was at night and moving extremely fast. So I posted about it on this private forum and then someone told me they had shut down air traffic along the west coast with some bogus cover story explanation.

Mystery solved?...

Aviation Sleuth solves Puget Sound UFO mystery

For a couple of days, a mystery swirled around a long bright streak that was caught by a webcam pointing up from Western Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula.

Now the mystery has been solved. But it wasn’t easy.

It took a couple of days for Tyler Rogoway, a writer who specializes in the hush-hush corners of aviation, to figure out what was in the 20-second time-lapse webcam view, which was captured on Sunday by a camera pointed toward Whidbey Island.

The blog item by University of Washington atmospheric scientist Cliff Mass sparked a host of hypotheses — ranging from the launch of a Trident ballistic missile, to the overflight of an Alaska Airlines jet, to a sun-illuminated contrail, to a Russian rocket body, to an out-and-out hoax. The tale sparked click-baity reports from Russian and British news websites.

Rogoway, meanwhile, gathered some additional details from Johnson about the circumstances of the webcam shot, including its precise positioning.

He checked with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. No dice there. The Federal Aviation Administration didn’t have anything that matched up with the observation, either. (That Alaska Airlines flight was out of the webcam’s field of view.)

But a look at Flightradar24’s online tracking database revealed that an Airlift Northwest helicopter was flying on a track that matched what the webcam saw.

You can get the full story by reading Rogoway’s recap on The Drive, but the bottom line is that the time-lapse photo’s rocket-style appearance is consistent with the lighting and the geometry of the helicopter’s flight.

Missile Caught on Camera Leads to Assassination Conspiracy Theory

Earlier this week, a strange image captured on a remote weather camera in the Puget Sound of Washington State captured what appeared to be a rocket or missile launch in the vicinity of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, a nearby air base which is home to several electronic warfare and reconnaissance squadrons. The image was posted to Facebook by meteorologist Greg Johnson whereupon conspiracy theories and allegations of black launches naturally began to swirl. Pull out your tin foil hats, friends, because this one gets weird.

Tyler Rogoway of military aviation blog The War Zone quickly jumped on the case, attempting to dispel the rumors and conspiracy theories by claiming the strange image did not show a rocket or missile launch, but rather an air ambulance helicopter which was flying in the area at the time. Rather than depicting a rocket launching vertically, Rogoway claims the image depicts a helicopter flying at a steady altitude horizontally away from the camera with its search light on and facing down.

“A missile!”

While Rogoway is known for his in-depth research and reporting, much of the internet isn’t buying it. Readers of The War Zone took to the site’s comments section and social media to accuse Rogoway of being a government shill working on behalf of the military, U.S. government, or another shadowy group to cover up some sort of clandestine launch.

The War Zone reader “jimzoltan” sums up the responses with his comment asserting his skepticism towards Rogoway’s analysis:

I do a lot of photography, long exposure included. I am not buying the “explanation.” Of course there has to be a cover, and willing or unknowing actors to carry it out. People will believe nearly anything if there is enough social pressure and effective propaganda in place. They will even discount their own senses and personal experience. Just a fact about humans and manipulation.

Speaking of manipulation, many 4chan and Reddit users pointed to a few typos in a tweet President Trump sent out around the same time the strange image of the ‘launch’ was taken as proof of some deep conspiracy. They claim these typos are some sort of cryptic message suggesting that there was an attempt to shoot down Air Force One en route to the historic summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Singapore committed by rogue elements within the military or government. Yeah, really.

To make things stranger, meteorologist Cliff Mass posted an unnerving image of a U.S. Coast Guard cutter seen patrolling the area surrounding the location of the weather cameras which originally captured the “launch.” Mass asks “If this was just an innocent helicopter passage at night, why all the snooping on weather-loving Greg Johnson?” Why indeed, Cliff? Why indeed. Unless, of course, it was related to whatever search and rescue operation for which the helicopter was dispatched.

Is this merely a curious long exposure photograph of a helicopter flying with its search light on, or might there be a deeper conspiracy afoot here? The U.S. Navy asserts there were no launches that day and that the base doesn’t even have the capability to fire missiles or launch rockets. Furthermore, there were no reports of residents hearing loud sounds around the time of the “launch.”

While I would generally tend to remain skeptical and side with the helicopter theory, the sudden appearance of the Coast Guard ship sure is odd – as is the timing coinciding with the Trump-Kim summit. Plus, no matter how hard I try, I just can’t see a helicopter in the images – but photographs can be misleading.

wow thats unexpected, looked so much like a missile, but the identical flight path suggests it is it

Its possible it was all staged, they flew the helicopter on same flight path intentionally to have an excuse and disinformation to cover the missile launch...

Who said it was experimental?...Its a mystery launch, how would someone know that?...
