I.D This.

the object in the center of the image caught my attention, it looks very clean and smooth. What you think it might be, it was quickly removed as it shows up in no other photos. Could this be the piece that was carried out under the blue tarp?

That definitely could be a UAV, i'm searching around trying to find a match, it could be a model that is still secret or a specially made one for that mission. Lets hope a match is found though, that certainly looks like a UAV, nice find. It would also explain why the anti-missile defense system did not shoot it down.

Good luck with your search.

Just a thought, but if a UAV carrying explosives did that amount of damage to a heavily reinforced building, do you really think there would be a huge chunk of it left unscratched at the impact point???

It could have fired a bunker buster or something, if only we had the plans of the attack. What seems to be some type of side tail flap is very unique, it also appears to be rocket powered.

could not have explosives been planted in the retro fit waiting for the operation to happen too? Is that so inconceivable?

It is becoming more obvious that what struck the pentagon was not a passenger jet due to the very tight, difficult flight pattern, the very low and again difficult approach, the lack of damage and most of all the lack of wreckage.

Furthermore where are the bodies? An issue not mentioned much lately.

That would depend on a number of assumptions i am not willing to take.

Where and when was this picture taken?

Can we see the other pics please so that we can compare too.

If we can get a source for this photo that would be very helpful.

Whoa - that's a very interesting picture

Regardless of what it actually is....lump of 757.....lump of drone.....looking forward to seeing this one getting picked apart!

If it was going to fire a missile or drop a bomb why crash it? If it was loaded with explosives then nothing would be left of it. UAVs are made of composites. They tend to end up in tiny little pieces when they crash, even more so if it was packed with an explosive.

It looks like part of a wing root, where it attaches to the fuselage actually.

With enhanced lighting and a touch of focus.

Interesting photo. Now, if someone could only provide a source, date, time etc.

source, date, time etc, i will have to get back to you on that, when i started saving images i never organised them in such a way that makes it easy for myself to find that information. It will come to me eventually.

That was not so hard after all.

Thanks. I found the original uncropped version.

Considering the location and it being post collapse, it would seem unlikely that it is part of any foreign object to the building.

It looks like either a wing root or a tail in the original. It's NOT the back end of a UAV like in one picture put up here. It's shaped totally differently. It comes to a sharper edge like the back of a wing or tail. It COULD be part of the building, but I personally think it's part of the plane.

The original picture i have is a little clearer than the original you provide.
