Missile launch from Whidbey Island?

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!
