Having stated in the past that I believe the Pentagon was hit with an aircraft of an unknown type I have an opinion as to what I think it was. Based
on photos and other evidence including SecDef at the time, Don Rumsfeld who keeps on spilling the beans...gotta love him for that! Seriously though I
think its strange that he himself has validated two theories, flight 93 shot down & a missile strike into the Pentagon.
Above, photo still blown up to show clear smoke trail.
Above shows the "V" shaped tail section of a Global hawk flying after impact.
Above still frame from Pentagon camera and outline of Global Hawk just prior to impact.
Above is the outline of what looks very much like the aft section of a Global Hawk.
Above, painted up to fit into the plan anyone who see this traveling at full speed isn't going to recognize it for anything except a commercial
airliner. Why? The colors and the human mind thinking it saw what it really didn't.
The picture above shows how large the GH really is. Many think its just a small unmanned drone.
A reporter asked Don Rumsfeld a question. Below is his answer.
Question: This is a question that's been asked by many Americans, but especially by the widows of September 11th. How were we so asleep at the
switch? How did a war targeting civilians arrive on our homeland with seemingly no warning?
Rumsfeld: There were lots of warnings. The intelligence information that we get, it sometimes runs into the hundreds of alerts or pieces of
intelligence a week. One looks at the worldwide, it's thousands. And the task is to sort through it and see what you can find. And as you find
things, the law enforcement officials who have the responsibility to deal with that type of thing -- the FBI at the federal level, and although it is
not, it's an investigative service as opposed to a police force, it's not a federal police force, as you know. But the state and local law
enforcement officials have the responsibility for dealing with those kinds of issues. They [find a lot] and any number of terrorist efforts have been
dissuaded, deterred or stopped by good intelligence gathering and good preventive work. It is a truth that a terrorist can attack any time, any place,
using any technique and it's physically impossible to defend at every time and every place against every conceivable technique. Here we're talking
about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar
(inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center. The only way to deal with this problem is by taking the battle to the terrorists, wherever they are,
and dealing with them.

Don Rumsfeld went on to say later in 2004 that flight 93 was shot down as well.
