Mystery Object Photographed In Sky Over Puget Sound

OAK HARBOR, WA - A high-definition weather camera captured an image of an unidentified flying object over Whidbey Island early Sunday morning - but this UFO appears to have been launched from Earth.

A camera operated Greg Johnson, who runs the Skunk Bay Weather website, captured the two images above around 4 a.m. Sunday. Johnson photographs weather from the north end of the Kitsap Peninsula near Hansville. The missile - or whatever it is - appears to be launching from near Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island.

Patch reached out to the Navy Monday morning for comment. We will update this story as soon as we hear back.

This is strange. It sure looks like a missile or rocket, but nobody launched it. At 4am pst it will be 48 hours.

I saw it on KIRO news last night. It's not there anymore and I had to search for quite a while just to find the picture they showed on that news program. It apparently went over Whindby Island from somewhere north of Hansville. Strange.
