The Dori Monson Show is on KIRO Newsradio (weekdays Noon-3).

Skunk Bay Weather’s Greg Johnson got a rather unusual photo just before 4 a.m. Sunday morning from the northern Kitsap Peninsula.

As shown by weather blogger Cliff Mass, the night camera captured a streaking light over Whidbey Island that looks not unlike a missile or a rocket.

Are we preparing to launch missiles to North Korea? Have aliens found Whidbey Island?

Dori wants to know — what do you think the mysterious streaking light over Whidbey is? Leave your answer in the comments.
