Above post is from Cliff Mass, one of the atmospheric sciences professors at the University of Washington. A weather webcam on long exposure picked up a rocket launch, but isn't sure if it's military or commercial. Given that the flight was at 3:56am on Sunday morning, flew from the direction of a naval air station, looks like it's burning awfully high in the sky, and I don't know of any hobby launch sites with FAA waivers at all, let alone anything like this, it seems likely that it's military. Any guesses on what it might be? Would there be a NOTAM issued about this kind of launch if the Navy was planning it?
