The ABL doesn't burn through a missile, or disintegrate it. Rather it heats the missile skin, weakening it and causing failure due to flight stresses.

The jet was moving in a forward direction like they normally do when they fly, and the camera man just happened to be standing next to the tree when he was filming it.
Is it customary to pick and choose such small irrelevant questions to take this off topic?

That was going off topic, it was intended to determine if the pics were of the same plane on the same day.

Well, maybe a little research by YOU would help. I edited and posted the video above, with the jet.
DID THE AIRBORNE LASER HEAT UP THE SIDE OF THE WTC'S SO THE JETS CAN SIMPLY SLICE THROUGH THE EXTERIOR STEEL LIKE A COLD KNIFE THROUGH WARM BUTTER??
Originally scheduled for operation by 2008, due to development difficulties the program was "rescoped". The current plan calls for a prototype ABL to attempt shoot down of a test missile in 2008, delaying the final production design until after this test. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) says this is to allow design changes based on data acquired during the test. In effect it delays the ABL attaining operational capability for several years
Boeing completed initial modifications to the 747-400F in 2002, culminating in its first flight on July 18, 2002 from Boeing's Wichita, Kansas facility
Besides the COIL, the system also includes two kilowatt-class Target Illuminator Lasers for target tracking.

During the test, the modified Boeing 747-400F took off from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and used its infrared sensors and its track illuminator laser (TILL) to find and track an instrumented target board located on the U.S. Air Force's NC-135E Big Crow test aircraft. The Big Crow then fired its beacon laser at the ABL aircraft to allow ABL to measure and compensate for laser beam distortion caused by the atmosphere. Finally, ABL fired the surrogate high-energy laser (SHEL) at the Big Crow target board to simulate a missile shootdown. With the exception of ABL's beacon illuminator laser (BILL), this flight test demonstrated the entire engagement sequence from target acquisition to pointing and firing the SHEL.

The white jet aka "the smoking gun" outside of the Pentagon, could just as easliy have been and far more likely the E-4B National Airborne Operations Center which also has the same hump behind the cockpit area.

To heat the steel up to that point would require the aircraft to dwell on a side of the WTC for quite a period of time

The lone ABL is still in test and the COIL laser has not even fired while airborn yet.

Edit to add: You picture of the ABL also does not seem to have the Whitcomb winglets that the ABL has. The E-4 is based on the 747-200 and the ABL is based on the 747-400F which does.

Also the picture of the hole at the Pentagon. If a laser made that whole, please explain the lack of thermal damage on the sides?

Are you claiming to know the capabilities of this CLASSIFIED WEAPON?
And how do you know this for a fact? How do you know the military haven't been secretly testing this TESLA based weapon for many years? All we know is what we are told, that is not exactly the truth.
The one-megawatt laser will have a range of four hundred kilometers, and an ABL will be able to fire the laser 30 times per sortie.

Of the 110 stories, eight were set aside for technical services (mechanical floors) Level B6/B5, Floors 7/8, 41/42, 75/76 and 108/109, in four two-floor areas evenly spread up the building.

How do you know they are? While white /black project dynamic has been around since before you and I were born. If the government is that powerfull and have laser or tesla based weapons that advanced, why bother placing them on a visable platform like the ABL?
The laser operates at an infrared wavelength of 1.315 microns, which is invisible to the eye.

A solder gun, and solder, is basic physics. A welder welding metal, thats basic physics. Neither of those devices need much time to heat up a metal on direct contact.
They have a land based laser, a satellite based laser, and now a aircraft based laser. Because of the atmosphere, they have 3 different types for 3 different types of targets, in 3 different types of environments.
