The missile launched at Whidbey Island was not from the Base, it was an Unauthorized launch from a Trident Submarine transiting the canal perhaps affected by an external hack. This has the Navy very concerned, that is why they are trying to attribute it to being a medical helicopter. Helicopters are lifted by whirling blades not by rocket fuel. Missiles should never be launched without proper protocol, this one was and they would never be launched from Puget Sound. They would be out to sea to launch and would be in deep water to be protected from retaliation. This launch was not planned.
Um, yeah right.

Come on. We were just enjoying it.

Ops, your launch is drooping - it has erectile dysfunction. Plus, it is wrinkly, and has a little head.
The O.P.'s launch is fully erect, and perfectly vertical, very bright, and has a big head.
The O.P.'s launch wins.

The previously unknown weapon, dubbed the “Sea Dragon”, is most likely a new version of a versatile air defense missile capable of pinch-hitting as an anti-ship missile. The Washington Post broke the story over the weekend that Chinese hackers had compromised the computers of a Navy contractor and stolen 614 gigabytes of data. The stolen data pertained to the Navy’s Naval Undersea Warfare Center, which conducts research and development on submarine systems.
According to the Post, the stolen data includes, “signals and sensor data, submarine radio room information relating to cryptographic systems, and the Navy submarine development unit’s electronic warfare library.”
According to Popular Mechanics, this hack by the Chinese led to the discovery of the US’s new war weapon, the Sea Dragon. At the request of the Navy, The Washington Post withheld some “sensitive” information on the Sea Dragon. But what the media outlet did divulge, was that the weapon is a supersonic anti-ship missile for use by submarines.
According to a statement by the Navy, the weapon was a “disruptive offensive capability” created by “integrating an existing weapon system with an existing Navy platform.”

OK, so where did it go? What goes up, must come down.

I'm thinking that if it was a missile, it came down far, far away. Somewhere out in the Pacific.
As far as I'm concerned, if we're still here wondering, it wasn't that big a deal.
