All Nightshot models produced since January 1999 are Fully Modified New Models. These models have NO control of exposure at all in Nightshot mode. This makes it completely impossible to take pictures in bright daylight using Nightshot mode. The LCD screen and viewfinder should go completely WHITE when using Nightshot mode in bright daylight as shown below. This is because that when Nightshot is used the aperture is fully open and the exposure is automatically set to maximum.
If you notice the video with the laser, it has a very very slight green tint to it. It is possible that the normal ICF was swaped with a less powerful ICF.
The plane hit the building during a left hand turn. It approached the WTC from left to right, and at the last minute banked left, to hit the building. The entire time the jet was flying from left to right, yet it was banked to the left before it hit the building.
The laser on the WTC is almost the exact flight path of the jet.
When I present a theory, it is not a "set-in-stone" theory, it is just one of many possible scenarios that we can conclude from the video that has the laser light spot on it. The theory is subject to change, yet it will still keep its main evidence (the video) as the basis of the theory.
it doesn't sound like a theory you're still working out. Maybe if you were a litte more humble with your opinions (that's what they are), people wouldn't respond so harshly.

This should better illustrate what deltaboy is trying to say:
The circled building is the one we see in the video, in which the 'targeting laser' flashes across the front of. You'll see that it's a bit of a distance from the south tower (where the 'targeting laser' begins).
The yellow line illustrates the path the targeting laser would've had to take to fit with your theory.
I would like to add that due to the angle of the 'targeting laser', the source would have to be to the south or west, which would make it out of view in the video, which was shot to the north (unless, of course, the laser could break from it's 'straight line shackles' and bend around the towers, which is impossible).

I'm well aware that camcorders have a 'night mode' option. This link speaks of modifications that can be done, but makes no mention of the 5% blend mode you speak of. It does, however, say this:

I disagree. I see nothing in the video that suggests 'night mode,' blended or otherwise. If you can provide video shot in night mode that looks anything like this, I will be very surprised. I guess it's possible, but now the theory requires camera modifications replacing lenses and image sensors, making it all the more unlikely in my opinion.

The plane is flying left to right from the perspective of this camera.

Left to right means nothing without a positional reference.

The white jet is on the other side, so Flight 175 would be flying right to left from it's perspective.

HOWEVER! 11 11's post DOES bring up some major concerns about the possibility of an ABL being used to paint a target for the plane to hit. To guide it remotely to it's destination.

a remote controlled 747. Obviously this is possible however, this would be a bit of an undertaking and would involve a number of personnel.
Aviation experts
Electronic experts
guidance experts
computer experts
etc.
Thats alot of people to keep quiet.

Also, since the inception of "paint and forget" technology, the US no longer needs to continuously paint a target for tracking. This would eliminate the need for a continuous beam.

Also, GPS could guide the aircraft there without the need for painting at all. If my phone can guide me to a house down to 3 meters, I'm guessing more advanced systems would have NO problem guiding a plane into a building. Again, if a GPS type system were used, it would eliminate the risk of seeing the painted area on a target with a laser.

Finally,
11 11 has stated a laser beam was seen in the footage. No beam is visible anywhere in the footage. At most the termination point of the laser where it hits a solid object may theoretically be visible depending on what you think you see.
What are you talking about now? The jets that hit the WTC's were 767's, those would be the remote controlled ones. B.T.W. the military has many of these remote controlled aircraft ready for use. I think they use the systems in crash tests all the time.
First, if they were 767's, then I made a minor mistake, unlike your major mistakes. You might want to work on getting that chip off your shoulder.
Show me the remote controlled 767's that the military uses please.
Also, it would be a lot of people to keep quiet. Who says none of them were drugged to forget everything they did? Its possible. I think thats why Bob Lazar quite working at Area 51, because they started to drug him to forget, and he didn't like that.
RIGHT... I can wildly speculate that blue footed baboons kidnapped the workers also. Wow, this is fun

I don't think thats how "paint and forget" works. I think once you "paint" the target, the "paint" will track itself on the moving target with no user input. The "paint" will always need to stay on the target until the ordinance hits its target. The ordinance is what is tracking the laser beam dot, if that laser dot isn't there it won't have anything to track. The jet in this case, is the ordinance.
NOPE. Paint and forget means exactly how it sounds.
But now we are debating the type of weapons they could have used, when the main point of it all is that they used weapons.
No, the main point is whether or not they used any weapon or if there is any conspiracy at all. There is no evidence of any laser. Your own posts contradict themselves.

Not sure GPS can control the flight controls of the jet. You would need something actually flying the jet like a pilot. It would be to risky to just program it and press Go. If for any reason you get turbulence, or a "stand down", or birds sucked into the engines, you would have to reprogram the GPS? You would need a human controlling the jet (even remotely) to have full control of the aileron an elevator controls, especially on the Pentagon flight. Unless GPS knows how to make up for "ground effect", and other various in flight effects.
I would say they would use a similar system to the DARPA driverless car challenge. THEORETICALLY.

The reason I call it a laser "beam" is because the light is so small and bright that is could only come from a "beam" of light. If it wasn't a "beam" then the entire building would be lit up.
I don't see why you say there is "no beam visible" then you say there may be a laser dot visible. You can not have a laser dot without a laser beam, your are conflicting with yourself right now.
Because there is a difference between a dot and a line. The dot could be the termination point of the laser. The beam would be the space between the source and the termination. For the record, in the photos, I see no beam or dot. I believe you can see what you want to see.

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.
But since a single man with a laser designator can do the same thing and as we are assuming that the military has technology massively ahead of what they show us, why bother with the massive 747? I mean one guy with a laser is so much harder to spot than a 747, and even if we assume it can only be detected by UA175 (or whatever) for the last 7 miles or so (which a freefall bomb can), why use the ABL? 7 miles, even at 200+ m/s is a lot of time to maneuver with something computer guided.
Unless it's just a bird or something a lot closer to the camera, showing why it doesn't react to the explosion, since it's so far away from it.

I don't think you understand. If you watch the video evidence in the top left corner you will see a slight tint of green. This is because the ICF on that camera is letting in more IR wavelength lights then a normal camera. If you can't see that in the video, then I can't help you. That is even irrelevant to the point, because now you are avoiding the mere fact that there is a laser beam in the video. I don't care what IR wavelength it was, or what type of camera it was, I care that the laser beam is there and visible.
This is where you are confused with the rest of them. The theory isn't the smoking gun, THE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF A LASER IS THE SMOKING GUN.

Well, all that I'm seeing there is a reflection of light from the airplane on the building as it makes it's approach to it.
Originally posted by TheBorg
The thing that passes in front of the other building appears to be debris, as it wavers back and forth, as if it were spinning through the air.
Originally posted by TheBorg
Remember now, they've found bodies of people blown out of the WTC towers over 1/4 mile from the buildings.
Originally posted by TheBorg
It would be no stretch of the imagination for a piece of debris to be flying that fast, nor that far.
Originally posted by TheBorg
Again, as I and others have pointed out, there IS no "smoking gun" there. The only things smoking in this video are the buildings.
Originally posted by TheBorg
As for the laser's presence, perhaps you would be so kind as to address my inquiries on that very subject a page back.
Originally posted by TheBorg
I'd be honored if you could elaborate on how the purported IR pictures that you showed us could possibly show that the airplane above the 767 was responsible for "painting" the building for the hit. I would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you for your time.
