    It's before 4:00 in the morning, dark, and the camera is taking a 20 second exposure. That's a plane with its lights on. Navy jets and commercial planes are constantly flying (and usually low) over Whidbey.

    If you own a camera that doesn't have a phone wrapped around it, walk to somewhere near you where you can see a hill, put your camera on a tripod, set your shutter speed for 20, click the shutter right as a car reaches the base of the hill, the exposure will finish right around when the car reaches the top of the hill. Check the review screen, and you'll witness a missile launch at the hill RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE!

    It turns out that planes operate in three dimensional space, hence the car driving up a hill in my analogy. Also, the earth is round. Horizon and all. I grew up there, I bet I could recreate this image in a week if I looked up for a while every night.

    Sometimes pilots like to have a little fun. A pilot from that very same air station drew a dick in the sky a few years back.

    I have taken off and landed at Whidbey Island many times in jet aircraft, and the only suitable explanation for that fire plume is @jhfstyle24 had a major Taco Bell shit and he released it straight up. I'm an expert here.

    fuck, i've been exposed

    but it wasn't taco bell, it was taco time. get it right

    It's more fun for me to believe in a Taco Bell shit.
