The object enters the video (Video 2) at frame 24. The explosion occurs instantly at frame 25. If these frames are 1/2 second apart in time, isn't that too fast for a bright yellow/white fireball of that magnitude to erupt from the fuel contained in the plane's wings?
There is no shadow of a plane or any part of a plane in frame 24. There is and cannot be a shadow of a plane in frame 25 because the entire object has already crashed into its target, the Pentagon.
The object that appears in frame 24 is much too small to be a Boeing 757. It is obviously not a 757. It is clearly something other than what the government is saying it is.

Don't you think that during this time they did renovations to it to help the building withstand a near-miss of a nuclear attack? Well, couldn't it be that these renovations included strengthening the walls of the Pentagon?
The renovation of the five floors in Wedge 1, approximately 1 million square feet of space, began in 1998. The project included major structural demolition, installation of new utilities, and the build-out of tenant areas. A phased move-in of tenants began in February 2001. The section of the Pentagon that was hit on September 11 was the first and only section of the Pentagon undergoing renovation to strengthen the building against a terrorist attack.

Who here knows the registration number of that jet? And would you know if the number was changed on that jet on 9/12/01? Who would know?
We've all seen what AA 757's look like. We've all seen the exterior of the Pentagon. SO where is the concern to national security?

You may be correct here but that belies the fact that a major attack on the pentagon would do a lot to cripple the functioning of the US military.

why only one entry point in the building before it collapses ? (the engines are the most resistant part of a passenger plane not the body, it makes no sense that the engines haven't left any trace of impact ) where are the engines ?
the wings should have been ripped off by the lamp posts...

Also lost in the discussion is the fact that airplanes are like beer cans. They are hollow. The outer two or three inches of the fuselage is high-grade aluminum. It's strong, light and flexible. The interior is air, seats, and people. A plane is not solid, nor is it made of steel. That would make it too heavy and unable to fly. There may be some steel reinforcing braces but the majority is aluminium and composites. When the plane hit the Pentagon, the aluminum was crushed like a beer can. The wings disintegrated when the fuel exploded.

Why were America and the world never shown the video and photographs of the Pentagon, BEFORE the outer wall had collapsed showing only one 16 ft. hole. Many people do not realize that the outer wall did not collapse until a full 20 minutes after the initial impact!
Given that the outer wall of the Pentagon had not yet collapsed and the only hole is approximately 16 ft. in diameter - how does a jetliner over 44 feet tall and 125 ft. wide fit into that hole as shown in the crystal-clear and close-up photographic evidence from the Pentagon?
Have you seen ANY debris from the Boeing757; like Engines, Seats, Luggage - you know PARTS and PIECES of a JET AIRLINER? Oh yeah - it Disitingrated! Just like they do in the Movies, right?
Furthermore, can physics explain why there is no damage to the Pentagon's upper floors where the tail section would have hit?
In the aftermath, it was reported by media sources that a giant 100 ft. crater was plowed into the front lawn of the Pentagon as the result of a powerful airliner crash? Why does photographic evidence overwhelmingly show that this was absolutely not the case? Why no crater? Why no skid marks? Why no burn marks? Why was the entire world deliberately mislead?
How does a Boeing 757, constructed from lightweight aluminum, penetrate over 9 ft. of steel reinforced concrete?

In addition, as I understand it that was one of the reasons given for only having limited damage to the building.

... and unless that 'plane' was doing some incredible speed that 30fps isn't going to catch over that distance, there's alot of frames missing.

They must have better evidence then this because I doubt this crap evidence would ever be able to convict anyone of a crime. The quality looks like a 25.00 webcam.

Its a plane allright, no doubt about it.To bad we already knew that from the debris found near the pentagon and inside.
They just gave us something to chew on, like giving a bone to a dog untill its broken in little pieces and digested.
I hoped this would be the evidence that would prove it was in fact an airliner but instead this is just a tool to spread propaganda onto the masses.
Why are there no other vids released?
Why risk to lose so much credebility as a governement by not releasing the vids?
Sorry usa dont buy this crap and find a way for them to release the rest of these vids!

The nose is really pointy, not like a plane no????
so u see what i see, im pullin me hair out as spotted this and noones picking up on it.

ThePieMaN raised an excellent point about that. Maybe they're not releasing it so that there can be unboased video for when/if they catch Osama bin Ladin. Honestly, I think that that's the best reason so far, topping even my own.
How many cameras were trained on the Pentagon at the time versus how many were on the WTC? Where was more destruction? The WTC was the "bigger" story, and just got more air time.
Go back and read my post containing my idea of the plane atomized on impact.
Not physics, per se, but just knowing airplane construction and what happens in a crash. The tail is notoriously the weakest part of the aircraft. So, ironically, people seated in the tail section have a better chance of survival in a crash. Why is this? On impacts, the tail generally breaks off.
Anyway, so as the plane impacted the tail could have easily broken of, and then not hit the building with the vertical stabilizer being vertical. Even if it had stayed attached and hit normally, it probably would have atomized much in the same way that the wings did.
They were also saying anywhere from six to eight planes had been hijacked. Can you imagine that those darned journalists might make a mistake in their initial reports. Really, how could they be SO irresponsible!?
I believe "lightweight" is taken out of context there. Aluminum is "lightweight" as opposed to construction of steel. The construction of the plane, despite using aluminum, is still very durable. The skin of the plane is also a few centimeters thick in some parts. That source makes it sound as if planes are constructed of aluminum foil, which they are definitely not.
I hope that that all answers your questions.

news.bbc.co.uk...
Judicial Watch filed the freedom of information request in 2004, but the Pentagon refused to release the video because it was part of the investigation involving al-Qaeda plotter Zacarias Moussaoui, the group said.
Dude, are you telling me that only TWO cameras in the Entire Pentagon recorded that? I are you telling me, that the surroundings of the most important HQ in America is watched by TWO lousy 20 year old cameras, capable of few frames per second?
You mean like SF movies?
You mean, that the Airplane has a Tail soooo weak, that it did not leave not even a scratch mark on the face of the building? Are you trying to tell me, that the tail - even if it is the weakest part of the airplane - is not strong enough to break a few windows, when a fully loaded Boeing757 crashed into them with immense speed?
Yeah right - and monkeys might fly outta my butt!
Atomized? I love that word!
You have seen the photos of Pentagon building, after the "Boeing757" crash right? What have you seen? Have you seen any parts of this BIG Passenger airplane? Have you seen a part of the Tail? Or maybe Wings? Or mabye an Engine? Passenger seats? A crater? Nope. And the entire Wing of Pentagon is still standing! Fireman are putting out the fires - and all you san see is a Hole in the Wall, with windows one floor up, barely touched - not even broken! OH yeah - ATOMIZATION!

Why is that a bad arguement? They only released these videos because of the lawsuit and because they were used as evidence in the Moussaoui case. Could it be so simple that other videos, especially the ones showing the plane in full, are being saved for Osama or other terrorists yet to be captured?
It's not a question of hiding anything, it's a question of the people receiving a fair and unbiased trial.
No, I'm suggesting that they haven't released the video for the reasons I just posted above.
I have bolded the two definitions that correspond to my usage of the word to avoid further confusion on your part.
Ah, so THAT explains why you still believe it wasn't a plane. Maybe you should stop ignoring those, no?
What a shame. Maybe one day you'll start denying ignorance. I can understand what it's like though. There was a time in my life when I believed everything I read on the internet, and believed things for the sole reason that they were anti-establishment. Of course, then I encountered the real world and grew up.
