On Sunday, June 10, a weather camera in Washington State snapped footage of what looked like a missile streaking across the sky. According to SkunkBay Weather, a weather monitor in Washington State on its official Facebook page: “My night camera picked up what clearly looks like a very large missile launch from Whidbey Island.” Professor Cliff Mass, an atmospheric sciences faculty member at the University of Washington, said the object did indeed look like a missile. He continued: “It really looks like an ascending missile. I would be interested if someone had some insights into this sighting.

“My night camera picked up what clearly looks like a very large missile launch from Whidbey Island.”

“This feature does not look like a meteor, nor are there any meteor reports for the area that I could find online. “The lightning networks did not show a strike in that area. “I have never heard of rocket launches from Whidbey Island Air station in Oak Harbor. “And checking online, I can not find any discussion of this feature.”

“There's a lot speculation around here but it's definitely not a missile launch.”

However, military officials have denied that they had anything to do with a suspected rocket launch. A spokesman for the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island told Military.com: “There's a lot speculation around here but it's definitely not a missile launch.” The spokesman added that the NAS Whidbey Island does not have any missile launching capabilities. But Dr Grant Allen at Manchester University's Centre for Atmospheric Science believes he may cracked the mystery.
