The US Navy has admitted that one of their pilots drew a large penis in the sky.
The penis appeared over Okanogan, Washington yesterday much to the surprise (and amusement) of locals.

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island was then forced to issue an apology for the penis, admitting that one of their pilots had carried out the “immature” act.
They said:
“The actions of this aircrew are wholly unacceptable and antithetical to Navy core values.
“We have grounded the aircrew and are conducting a thorough investigation, and we will hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
“The Navy apologizes for this irresponsible and immature act, and anyone who was offended by this unacceptable action.”
However, people online seemed less offended by the penis, and more delighted that the sky was now an accurate representation of how things have been going as of late.
Using an expensive machine built for war to draw a giant penis in the sky is a little too on the nose for This Year In Symbolism.
