The "plane" was said to have came in level from the interstate

after you tried to compare cell phone cameras of the time
with every other cctv cameras?
Oh and the Pentagon didn't have CCTV capabilities to film anything,
but a gas station did? That's how I know you weren't old enough or just technologically ignorant.
I've wasted enough time responding to someone who wants to be the victim.

The Pentagon Area Surveillance Camera Videos
www.9-11tv.org...
Most of the video cameras were not aimed in the direction of the Pentagon and/or at the part of the Pentagon in question – the impact zone.
Most cameras and recorders were located a considerable distance from the impact event, and virtually all surveillance cameras had wide-angle (fisheye) lenses which render distant objects at very low resolution, and which cause some geometric distortion to the image.
Many cameras had obstructed views of the Pentagon impact area.
In 2001, virtually all surveillance cameras rendered low spacial resolution images of at best 480i, and more often less. 480i is what is now called SD – Standard Definition.
In 2001, most surveillance cameras recorded video at low frame rates (low temporal resolution), often in the range of 1 to 8 frames per second. By comparison, US TV is most often recorded at 30 frames/second.
The high speed of the plane, which was accelerating to over 550 mph, resulted in image blurring in the video recording, and offered a low chance of catching more than a single frame of the plane, given the low-recorded frame rate (low temporal resolution) of 1 frame/second).

So here is an extreme blowup of one of the frames of the original video that "doesn't show anything."
It is quite clearly a plane. You can see the tail. If you look really closely you can even see the distinct droop-nose of a 757.
And again, if you do a size comparison using the building for scale, the object is much too big to be a missile. If you discount the original video, this size point holds for the "new" video as well.
It's like pointing at a tank and demanding people believe it's a bicycle. Even someone with extremely blurry vision could tell, just by the size, it is not the object you're claiming it is.
It's not just not a missile, it's extraordinarily obvious it's not a missile.
Oral History Interview with Brian Austin and Steve Pennington
November 9, 2006 Reviewed by Brian Austin
Pennington: Assuming we can speak freely of the system that's there. There is a centralized
digital video recording system that was installed literally weeks before this occurred. The svstem was not even government property at the time that the images were running. We
basically were turning the system on. As we were turning the system on it's a pretty elaborate system--we decided we were going to start running the system and capture data for testing purposes. Currently they are recorded at either 3.75 or 7 1/2 images a second depending on wheretheya r e and what they do. At that time they were being recorded at oneimage a second.
That's why there wasn't a lot of information and big gaps in the data. It was a miracle that it was even being recorded because we had decided only days before to actually start recording data, since the system was a new system and wasn't even government property. It was installed at the facility but it had not yet been tested and turned over. That's why the images were being
captured at a slower than normal rate.

Have ANY of those Alleged Witnesses Ever Attested that they Saw and Identified it as an American Airlines Boeing 757 ? Take your Time on your Answer , you have a lot of Research to do there........
An airplane was detected again by Dulles controllers on radar screens as it approached Washington, turning and descending rapidly. Controllers initially thought this was a military fighter, due to its high speed and maneuvering.[43] Reagan Airport controllers asked a passing Air National Guard Lockheed C-130 Hercules to identify and follow the aircraft. The pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Steven O'Brien, told them it was a Boeing 757 or 767, and that its silver fuselage meant it was probably an American Airlines jet. He had difficulty picking out the airplane in the "East Coast haze", but then saw a "huge" fireball and assumed it had hit the ground. Approaching the Pentagon, he saw the impact site on the building's west side and reported to Reagan control, "Looks like that aircraft crashed into the Pentagon, sir."[23][44]

Looks too big for a missile.
It is also a light color.
