Relax Matt, Just dry cleaning bags filled with marsh gas from the meadowlands...DO NOT ADJUST YOUR TIN FOIL HATS!

[thinking]

it was an engine, recently shown on TV

[KneelBeforeZod]

Pieces of the plane were found blocks away. this is stupid.

When did all these commentators die? I just read Jonah.

Jonah was one of the freaks who jumped on the McCain circus wagon when John started banging out the anti-Christian tune on the parade caliope.

It was sickening to witness. I am not an evangelical. Far from it. But I respect them. They and I are in tune politically more often than not.

Jonah made it clear where he stands. These neocons, all of whom I once admired, are bigots. They make coo-coo noises about tolerance but they detest a large part of the Republican base. And they mock and laugh at them from their upper west side apartments. The hell with them. They deserve to be put just where the racists and others who pretend to be conservatives go: no where.

Shun them all. Shun Drudge. He is in with them. He laughs at us. We are mouth breathing bigots. Honest.

The video clip which be-baw linked to, and which surfer first posted on #80 is in SLOW MOTION. The streak first shows up on the TOP-RIGHT corner of the second tower, and almost looks like a shadow. You have to play it over and over again to see that the streak is apparent in the black smoke of the 1st tower before it is readily apparent at the end of the clip streaking to the right side of the frame.

[TBall]

Exactly. Remember when 800 went down. Hundreds reported what they saw and the news was all over it at first. This thread is silly.

[monkeywrench]

"What we DON'T NEED NOW", "What we do need...". It's beginnning to sound like a chant. Do we stop thinking, too? Do we dare? Is that the price of this elusive "unity"? Face it, the job of 'sheep herding' isn't going to be easy around here.

[Tatze]

I agree. After watching it several times, the 'object' can be seen in front of both buildings. It cannot be seen in any of the videos from other angles ( the other Fox video, the 2 on CNN, etc...).

It is just something that crossed through the frame, close to this camera, which gives the appearance of great speed.

One or two looks at the video could certainly pique your interest, but closer examination reveals the truth. Its nothing.

[Alberta's Child]

Yeah, I saw it. The object that flies past has nothing to do with the second plane. It first appears above the explosion, though it is hard to see it against the dark background.

Based on the size of the object, the speed at which it passes (even when the video is slowed down), and the lack of focus, I'd say it is something that passed in front of the camera less than ten feet away.

[supercat]

Didn't FoxNews report that they found a body of non-uniformed pilot (terrorist) and a stewardess in the cockpit on top of the Marriot (near the WTC)?

I hope they have a special pigskin body bag for that guy.

[Crimson]

Come on, guys. An air-to-air missile passing behind the WTC building would appear much smaller in the photos. Where are the reports that a missile exploded in New Jersey?

[Cultural Jihad]

Yes, a clearer image in that file. It's another aircraft. You can see it coming into the frame from the very top-left. The shadow seems to eclipse the top-right corner of the 2nd building.

[VRWC For Truth]

The object is coming TO the view point of the camera. It's a piece of the plane. That is why it looks like it's accelerating. Optical illusion. The object went towards the camera. Mega tinfoil alert.

[surfer]

Who knows what it is...Las Vegas Dave nailed it...it is an unidentified flying object. Could be a million things...I am just glad someone like Matt is as thorough as he is! It is really important the we find out everything that we can!

[budman_2001]

You got it.

I've seen the photo; I've seen the photo-set; I've seen the video clip.

Its out of focus. Typically, when camara lenses at set at infinity (as I think this was), out of focus objects are closer, much closer to the lens.

Its a bird IMO. < /seatbelt off>

[Cultural Jihad]

Okay, the shadow on the tower I thought I saw was probably just an imperfection in the zoomed quality of the image. That streak has to be an aircraft streaking past in the background.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I believe it was, or if not, landing gear.

[Cultural Jihad]

No, it is not a piece of the plane. It clearly appears from the top-left of the frame. Play it again and you can almost see it inside the billowing smoke of the 1st tower, way to the left. It's got to be another plane, or perhaps a bird. Consider that the video is running in slow motion, so the streak must have been very fast.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

[Alberta's Child]

Can't be a piece of the plane. It first appears ABOVE the explosion, against the backdrop of the column of smoke from the other tower (you have to watch the video carefully to see this). The object has nothing to do with the plane hitting the second tower.
