Look! Up in the sky! 
 
 It’s a bird. 
 
 It’s a plane. 
 
 No, it’s a phallic skydrawing, and a military aircraft is the culprit. 
 
 Okanogan residents told The Spokesman-Review that they saw the male genitalia deliberately being drawn in the skies above their town by a jet around noon Thursday. 
 
 Images of the drawing were quickly posted to social media, residents said, and sent around town through text message. 
 
 The Naval Air Station in Whidbey Island has claimed responsibility for the drawing, calling it “unacceptable” and “of zero training value.” 
 
 The base’s public affairs office on Friday referred questions to the Navy’s Pacific Fleet headquarters in San Diego, where Lt. Cmdr. Leslie Hubbell said the crew involved in the sky-drawing would be held accountable. 
 
 Hubbell said an investigation has been launched, although it’s not clear who in the chain of command will make the final decision on disciplinary action. She declined to speculate on whether the crew members involved could be discharged. 
 
 Hubbell said the aircraft involved was an EA-18G Growler from the VAQ-130 Electronic Attack Squadron based at Whidbey Island, on a “routine training” flight. The highly maneuverable plane is a cousin of the F/A-18 Super Hornet, outiftted with radar and communication jamming equipment. 
 
 On Thursday night at The Club Sports Bar and Grill in Okanogan, a central Washington town of just 2,550 residents, locals shared a few laughs about the image they’d seen in the clouds. 
 
 Ramone Duran said he was running errands when he looked up and saw what he thought looked like the start of someone trying to draw a male member with jet contrails. 
 
 About five minutes later, Duran said, the drawing was complete. 
 
 “After it made the circles at the bottom, I knew what it was and started laughing,” Duran said. “It was pretty funny to see that. You don’t expect to see something like that.” 
 
 Misty Waugh, a server and bartender at The Club, said she wasn’t aware of the drawing until her 12-year-old son texted her a picture. 
 
 “I thought it was pretty funny, and so did he” she said. “A lot of people have been talking about it.”

– Even Maverick never pulled off a maneuver this ballsy. Residents of the tiny Washington state town of Okanogan tell the Spokesman-Review they saw a jet drawing something in the sky around noon Thursday. “After it made the circles at the bottom, I knew what it was and started laughing,” Ramone Duran says. What it was was a giant penis drawn in the sky over central Washington. Photos of the sky genitals spread around social media, and it was a popular topic Thursday night at a local sports bar in Okanogan. Twitter user Anahi Torres called it "the most monumental thing to happen in Omak." While a local mother called KREM to complain she would now have to explain to her children what the skywriting depicted, not everyone was upset about the penis hovering above. “I thought it was pretty funny, and so did he," says Misty Waugh, whose 12-year-old son texted her a photo of it. “A lot of people have been talking about it." Officials from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island say one of their planes was responsible for the skywriting. "The Navy holds its aircrew to the highest standards and we find this absolutely unacceptable, of zero training value and we are holding the crew accountable," officials say. An official at the FAA says the agency "cannot police morality," and there's nothing it can do about people defacing the sky with penises unless it poses a safety risk.
