I understand your frustration, I guess. But if you want to know where this is going, you could read the thread, Too much work? Alright then, quick summary:

My findings support 'the official story' in showing (possibly) a 757 on the right path and right altitude to hit the Pentagon as reported. It contradicts the popular (?) idea now that the plane flew north of the Citgo and had to have flown over.

Yet I'm still what you might call a 'truther.' Confusing, huh?

It's becoming apparent that nothing short of time machine full of perfect witnesses with HD video cameras will ever bring this controversy to an end.

Your finding here Caustic Logic is indeed more compelling evidence that what seems to have happened in fact did happen.

Many thanks for showing us another piece of the puzzle

Thank you Pilgrum. I'm really pretty excited that I was able to put this all together and it all fit so well. And yet despite how clear the evidence is, we see no real accusation of outright video forgery, which is the only plausible alternative to accepting a 757 on the official path. It really shouldn't be that hard, and of course this will now have to be said.

It won't be provable either way, but attempts may be made, and we'll be left with what the video as we have it shows.

Oh this is silly and an excercise in desperate futility.

Those "two dots" represent nothing more than two dots. You should actually watch the video, there are plenty of other "dots" in there. It could be nothing more than distortion in the video tape.

It is clearly evident that the plane was on the north side of the Citgo.

Robert Turcios, Chadwick Brooks, and Edward Paik would have seen a plane on that flight path, on that side of the Citgo gas station.

They did not.

1. They released the video a week after it was announced that Robert Turcios saw the plane on the north side of the Citgo (supporting the Lagasse contention from the Dick Eastman e-mail exchange)*AND* volunteered that the plane "picked up" over the highway into the ascent he describes on video. Five years later (after much controversy) and they finally release the Citgo video a week after it is announced that a Citgo employee saw the plane on the north side and saw it PULL UP over the highway?? Come on.

2. The video is clearly altered. They removed the video frames that contained the plane entering from the north side/explosion and the camera that captured it. They then release the video without the frames or mention of the camera and pretend that, to the best of their ability, it has satisfied the public's request to see the impact. This makes the video inadmissable as evidence OF ANYTHING and highly suspect.

3. Multiple witnesses describe a bank-which is required in the north side approach. Steve Ross' website and second hand account describe the north side approach. Many accounts describe the plane coming OVER the Navy Annex, which would be the north side approach. The witnesses in the PentaCon, casually and then admantly state that the plane was on the north side of the Citgo. Published witness Levi Stephens tells CIT it was on the north side of the Citgo. How much more evidence do you need?

Certain things edited out and dots and flashes added? That certainly looks and could be the case, since the north side approach was and is now being revealed. But the dots are beyond inconclusive, and frankly just silly if accepted as evidence of the plane being on the south side of the Citgo

To accept this "video evidence" as authentic would be absolutely absurd.

And I am sorry, but there is no way a 757 did this:

AND...

The "dots" DO NOT correspond with the flash and light reflection on the south side canopy that Russell Pickering tries to attribute to the plane being on the south side.

Count the seconds after the "two dots" and in between when the reflections are seen and you have a problem in yours and JF's theory, CL.

Quick question, CL.

Does the road upon which the shadows are cast (South Joyce Street???) have a central reservation? In other words, are opposite flowing carriageways seperated by some sort of crash barrier?

If so, it explains the two shadows perfectly.

i wonder if the guy who started this thread saw the special on the history channel about the plane flying into the pentagon. the story showed both sides of the story(meaning it coudnt been a plane and it could of) it seemed to satisfy me especially when the have experts saying there could of been no bomb or missle that caused this kind of damage. so that roles out all comspiracys. its the micheal moores of today who dont want to believe the simple truth. not saying our government it truthful but numerous experts have found small pieces of the plane far into the building. so to me it doesnt matter what a shadow or servailance tape shows. maybe the damn plane flew a circle before it hit the pentagon who knows. maybe you cant always count on eye witnesses. its not like you solving a crime that has been already looked at in a hundred different ways. why couldnt that 757 not have caused that damage? whats so hard to believe. i believe in E.T's , i believe the government has flying saucers but i dont believe anything that happened on 9/11 is anything more than terrorist who pulled off a huge masacre on inoccent americans. r there really people out there that think our own govermnt would attack its own people to engage in a endless war thats going nowhere but wasting our tax dollars?

Alright, so we have that cameras were removed after 9/11, and the accusation that these views were functional and recording on that morning. Sorry, I'm still hazy on the details and level of evidence. But if true, this would imply that the actual multiplexed recording was later edited to remove frames that had been recorded, right? Did they actually re-digitize the videotape and rearrange the frames ala the Brady Bunch?

Perhaps.

Obviously it is impossible to prove exactly how and all they did to manipulate it. But it doesn't matter because it has been proven to be manipulated making it invalid evidence.

Even if it hadn't been proven to be manipulated it is not logical to accept evidence controlled and provided for by the suspect as valid evidence in support of the suspect's story in any investigation.

But since we KNOW it has been manipulated the suspect has actually implicated themselves in a direct cover-up.

This is only done when there is something to hide and the only relevant point to be brought up about this invalid evidence.

We know this because the manager of the citgo TOLD US that the views were online.

Okay, that's fairly good evidence. I'm certainly not going to actively argue this at this point, let's go on the presumption that the overall video was manipulated to remove key frames.

Ok good. Smart thinking and finally a logical, scientific way to approach the discussion. We must only discuss this in full context of the fact that this is invalid evidence that further implicates the suspect in question.

However, what I'm wondering is, was anything manipulated within this frame?

Do you believe these dots were really there, or inserted? THAT is the question you'll need to answer.

Huh?

Man that was a quick reversal!

If you go on the "presumption that the overall video was manipulated to remove key frames" then the evidence has been rendered invalid and further implicates the suspect.

Therefore to suggest that I "need" to answer a question regarding all the ways this invalid evidence was manipulated even though that is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to answer this question anyway simply makes no sense.

Evidence tampering is a federal offense and in this case it further implicates a cover-up which only supports the contentions of CIT.

It certainly does not support the contention that a 757 was exactly where the suspect says it was.

This "analysis" from CL is yet another neutralization attempt.

The alleged "shadow" in question is 2 dots.

A shadow of a massive 757 would be continuous.

To suggest that these 2 dots come from a jet strains credulity beyond belief.

I hope your arguments get better than this. So you're attempting to neutralize my neutralization by pointing out that continuous objects leave solid shadows. In real life, yes, in low quality video, at oblique angles, with surface issues, I don't think we can presume that we'd see the whole shadow. Do you understand that the engines and fuselage would cast their own portions of shadow forward the wing edge?

I do admit this is the tricky part - how does the rest of the shadow from there back not come through?

And then you cap with an argument from incredulity. I know how you love those when others employ them.

Alright, next...

You already said that you are going on the presumption that the evidence had been tampered with which means it's invalid.

That is quite far from an argument from incredulity.

It would be counter-productive and quite silly to focus in on inconclusive anomalous dots in invalid data that only implicate the suspect.

Especially when your contention is that these dots in this invalid data support the suspect's story.

Legitimate investigators are always looking at the full puzzle when they try to fit the pieces.

They don't take pieces from a completely different puzzle and then cut them up and try to force them into the picture.

Is it possible to add three panels (representing the 'missing' camera angles) of any size or combination of sizes to what we already have and retain a rectangular field of view?

If not, is it your view that the FBI not only removed the 'missing' camera views but also rearranged the panels on the screen?

I have no idea of exactly all they did to manipulate this data and this would be impossible to figure out.

But luckily we don't need to because we have already proven the data has been manipulated which only further implicates the suspect.

The dots prove nothing whether or not they were edited in.

I agree they 'prove' nothing, but if they're genuine, they raise some interesting questions.

If genuine?

The data has been proven to be manipulated by the suspect.

Therefore we can not accept anything that allegedly supports the suspect's story from this data.

That would be illogical and counter-productive to determining the truth and seeing to it that the suspect is indicted.

I think this argument is rediculous. SOMETHING hit the pentagon, but did you see the hole? Did anyone bother to look at pictures of the hole? An airliner can't even fit into a 40 foot wide hole, let alone less than 20 feet wide. I don't even think a Cessna could do that. I'm no expert, again, but umm I know that wings don't mysteriously disappear miloseconds before impact.
This is getting old. Just use your friggin eyes.

And dude obviously, in this case, the witnesses saying they saw an airliner hit the pentagon are planted witnesses, because an airliner does not fit into the hole. A cessna, even, like I said. I gotta stop going into 9/11 threads because it's just rediculous that people can't plainly see, that they have to hide behind all this jargon that complicates everything.

You see this is EXACTLY why Aldo and I get frustrated with the "movement".

Russell Pickering should have freaked out when this video was released and used all of his connections to get people to realize how incredibly important it is that the government released data that we KNOW was manipulated and can prove it with simple testimony from the Citgo manager.

This is HUGE!

But instead it's ignored and used by Russell, John Farmer, Caustic Logic, and even Dylan Avery to support the government story!

This is how bad some people out there want CIT to be wrong and the official story to be right.

CIT will continue to scream loud about this and all evidence that proves a 9/11 military deception and cover-up but it does no good falling on deaf ears.

As a member of the US Military, im sick and tired of being slandered by people like the CIT and their insane theories about how we were responsible for 9/11. They have no CLUE about who we are and what we believe, because if you think that ANYONE in the US military would do something so heinous as crash airliners filled with US citizens into buildings filled with the same, you need to get your flipping head examined.

Did YOU bother to look? The "hole" as you call it, stretched for almost 90 feet when measured from left wing impact point to right wing impact point. The wings didnt "disappear" they left pieces all over the flipping place. I see you also think that the witnesses who reported seeing an airliner were "planted" So the minister conducting a funeral at Arlington was planted, the people driving their cars on the highway were planted, the people in the buildings around the Pentagon were planted, the people IN the Pentagon were planted, the remains of the people witnessed to have boarded Flight 77 were planted and most tellingly, THE PIECES OF THE AIRLINER THAT WERE ALL OVER THE LAWN OF THE PENTAGON, IN THE PENTAGON, ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE GROUNDS OF ARLINGTON WERE ALL PLANTED???

Unfortunately, what I would like to suggest you do, is against the rules of the board, so I will refrain. But heres a clue, YOU open your eyes.
