I normally hate these "nothing follows" type posts. But this headline (which will soon link to a story) intrigues me. For I too remember seeing a strange object hurtling towards the ground just after the second plane it. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. I thought it might be a defect in the film or something.

Drudge may be implying a something associated with a UFO. He's into that stuff.

Amen Larry, this is a cheap way to get folks to listen to his show tonight. Shame on him for doing this. If he has an idea of what it might be, then post it...otherwise he should shut up. He is being a butthead!

"The photo I have seen just before impact shows the wings deflected way up as if it were pulling about 3 or 4 G's. That's a pull up, not a push over."
Right on, he almost missed the building and banked and pulled hard at the last few seconds to hit it.

It was 'Janet Reno firing tracer bullets from a black helicopter'. We don't need this speculative crap. We know who did it and don't let this type of garbage distract from what we need to focus on. Drudge is the first to jump on any garbage that the British press spews. Half his links are from the GB tabloids ripping anything U.S.

The explosion coming out of the building is in focus, the object is not.
This object appears to moving much faster than the explosive blast!

Matt needs something too talk about tonight. There is nothing left so lets create something. How about the hollyweird angle I like that one.

It was a Valkyrian Warrior Woman from outer space!

I SAW ONE OF THE ENGINES ON THE GROUND ON TUESDAY There was an amateur video shown today on one of the cable channels, showing a large part of an engine on the street.
When the B-25 hit the Empire State Building in 1945, one of the engines went through the building, went across the street, and landed on another building, starting a fire. The B-25 hit with much less speed, much less mass, and much less fuel.
It is obvious that the terriorists went into the buildings at full throttle, and with a full fuel load. Parts of the aircraft (e.g. the nose, cockpit, etc.) most likely went through the buildings - ahead of the fuel fireball.
Reports today indicated that parts of one cockpit, including a body and a passport, were found a block or more away from the WTC. It's just physics.
The terriorists seemed to know what they were doing, especially by flying at an angle into the building to hit as many floors as they could. But they might have done more damage if they had flown into the building at a slower speed. Perhaps the huge fireballs that we saw would have been contained in the building, rather than being dissipated outside. The contained heat might have brought the building down more quickly.

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash91.htm MYSTERY OBJECT CAUGHT ON TAPE MOMENTS AFTER SECOND TOWER HIT A flying mystery object was captured on video just moment after a second aircraft crashed into New York's World Trade Center, it can be revealed. MORE Stills from a video taken by GAMMA PRESS USA -- showing the twin towers from an east angle -- clearly show an unknown object moving at a 90 degree angle to the second plane's flight path. Was a military jet following the second plane? Is the object a radar-guided missile that was fired at the airliner -- but arrived seconds late? Is the object a post-event distortion by a GAMMA PRESS editor? Could the image be a giant piece of debris racing toward the horizon? The mystery surrounding the video intensified in and out of official government over the weekend. A close examination of the footage appears to first show the object flashed by sunlight -- above the left tower -- a full 10 seconds after impact of the second airliner. The mystery object quickly streeks across the the back of the right tower before swooping down at a rapid clip and out of the camera's frame. The video featuring the mystery object has so far failed to catch the attention of the nation's main press. It should be noted that no reports from countless bystanders or other video footage has backed up the GAMMA video, which was running at FOXNEWS.COM as of Sunday evening [ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34238,00.html Scroll to: Video, the attack: East angle 2nd plane hits tower.] MORE

That red line was superimposed on the frame by Drudge or the folks from Gamma Press. Take out the red line and I'd say it means nothing. Since it's video tape, not a photo, it could be a bird, a smudge on the lens, something smoking that fell out of the first hit tower, or a telephone pole, clothes line, or flag pole off of a closer (but out of focus) building.

Well Matt's description is up and the interesting point is he makes is :

I had seen an uncommented- upon film clip of something that looked like a burnt up engine lying in the gutter on a city street somewhere.

Good point:

Drudge is full of crap, like usual. He will attempt to turn this into a conspiracy that it was shot down or some stupid thing like that.
The plane hit the building, full of fuel, people on board and in the tower. Simple as that. There might have been devices on board that could explode as well, but that was after it hit the tower.
Pardon the language, it's not my pic.
To: SamAdams76
When the tape was rolled in very slow motion, you can see the cockpit emerge from the building on the opposite side of impact. I believe the debris shown on the right of the picture is nothing more than the disintegration of the cockpit.
The red line is extrapolated incorrectly. The real extrapolation is camaflouged (sp?) by the building background.

Does anyone have a link to the actual video that this photo was produced from? It would seem that a series of frames is more important than a single frame.
