Ok, I'll play along for a few. Lets say that you're right; that it is in fact an IR laser being used. The question has been posed several times already, and perhaps I've missed the answer, or you just felt it unnecessary to provide one: How do you know that there is an IR filter on while the filming is going on? The green in the top corner could be from anything. Why does it have to be from an IR filter?

I thought it was much further away than that. It's actually within approximately 600 ft of the site. My apologies.
Originally posted by TheBorg
And that's our main point of contention I'm afraid. You've failed to prove to me that this is in fact an IR piece of film. You base everything you see off of a green tint in the upper corner of the picture, which could have been there as a result of accidentally leaving a magnet next to it for a bit too long overnight once.

My TV, for instance, has a big yellow spot in the upper right corner because I left one of my stereo speakers there for a few years, not knowing what it was doing to it.
Originally posted by TheBorg
There are other explanations for this, my friend. Please try to remain open-minded. What would you have said had there not been a green tint in the video?

Show me proof there was a C-130 over the pentagon and I'll believe the story.

I'm seeking the truth, just as everyone here is. When I see something that looks suspicious, I'm going to go looking for an answer. If that makes you feel queasy, perhaps it's you that should reconsider you're tenure here.

Now, just so everyone knows, I'm not suggesting that you should leave. I think you may be onto something, but I'm going to go through whatever I have to to prove this right or wrong. If my constantly questioning you're apparent omniscience upsets you, then I humbly apologize. I'm just doing what's required to rout out the truth. Please, try to have some decorum.

You do know that you're talking about a busy NYC morning, just like any other, correct?
Originally posted by TheBorg
Why would it be out of the ordinary for there to be LOTS of airplanes in the area at the time of the attacks?
Originally posted by TheBorg
They'd be coming in for landings. There's nothing odd about the presence of these planes at the time that this film was taken.
Originally posted by TheBorg
Besides, you started by saying that that WAS the plane, and then backed out when it was shown that that couldn't possibly have been the one.
So, with that in mind, and the number of airplanes in NYC skies that fateful morning, you left yourself a wide open opportunity to prevent any further debunking of your theory by being able to pick any of the airplanes in the area. This is often a tactic used by people with no argument left. They try to distract by pointing at other things that could be the culprit, while they make a hasty retreat.

Now, just so you know, I mean no offense by this, as it's simply an observation on the tactics used in this debate, which I have read very thoroughly by the way. It's disturbing to me that you would resort to such measures as this, as well as insulting other member's equally poignant theories, when you feel as if your view is being threatened.

Might I recommend some moderation in your ATS diet? Take some time off, like a day or so, to relax, and refresh yourself. I think you can be a wonderful member here, but you've got to be able to handle yourself with a modest amount of decorum when hit with resounding ridicule. I've had my fair share, and it was hard to work through, but I did it. And so can you. One step at a time.
Originally posted by TheBorg
And you, my friend, will have to provide more proof than a mere dot. What you've provided doesn't prove anything other than there's yet another anomaly at the site of the worst terrorist attack in American history. Tell me something that's NOT anomalous about it?

Your entire theory was proven impossible by Speakeasy on page 6.
Originally posted by InnocentBystander
You repeatedly call the object a 'laser' with absolutely NO PROOF.
Originally posted by InnocentBystander
Your entire theory relies on the camera being over 8 years old, modified with a special IR lens, and on night mode, however you can't provide one example of a still shot or video that is even close.
Originally posted by InnocentBystander
You've gone from being 100% positive about the model of the plane and the type of weapon, to suggesting boats may now be involved.
Originally posted by InnocentBystander
Anytime someone mentions a point that doesn't jive with your theory, you either ignore it, or become childish and insulting. Stop telling people to do their research, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE HERE.

Let's see if you can ignore this one: How can the laser be 12 feet tall? Lasers don't have divergence like this. A 12 foot tall laser dot at that distance would have to come from a HUGE laser. The picture of the ABL lens is big, but not even close to 12 feet.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think for one second that I can change your mind.

Well obviously a bird can be a lot closer to the camera than it looks. Aside from the size of an object you can't really tell where it is in a view of a 3D area on a screen.

Well if you watch the video closely, the "bird" comes from behind the WTC, on the left side. Don't forget about the "entrance" of this object.

We all know, when you aim a gun's sights, you aim above the target so the barrel of the gun is pointed at the target. Maybe the "tracking laser" was aimed at the wing tip of the jet, so that the actual body of the jet would get hit by the laser?

LOL!!!!!!! That's your only question? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Seriously do this experiment, get a hand held laser and turn it on. Place it somewhere so that it is pointing very far away, and leave it there. Run to that place it is pointing, and then tell me how big the laser dot is. I guarantee you that the farther away the laser dot is, the bigger it is. Although lasers are supposed to be perfectly straight lines, over a distance, they DO cone out, and get bigger. Try it.

OK 11 11,
I noticed once again you have ignored my posts.

This "1 story" object is not a laser.

Targeting laser do not paint object anywhere near that large. It would be ineffective if it did. Targeting lasers work on a small precise beam. If you don't believe me, look it up yourself.
Originally posted by jfj123
I find your attitude absurd. You're condescending and insulting to many people simply asking questions.
Originally posted by jfj123
The 12 foot laser beam is just your imagination.
Originally posted by jfj123
Just to help prove against the whole giant laser theory. In the last few years, there have been a number of reports of green lasers being pointed at planes in pilots cabins. The beams were ground based and entered the windshield of the planes and bounced around the cabin. At great distance, the beam was still small and this wasn't even a military grade laser. Why would a substantially higher powered laser expand to 12 feet like that??? Well it wouldn't. SORRY.
The "laser dot" that you see on the building is not 12 feet. Actually 12 feet was just a wild guess of the size that we see. You should have measured it yourself.

Just mine?? So you mean the 1000's of other people that have seen the laser video, including you, are all in my imagination? You do know, I am not the only one to notice this laser right?

The difference between you and I, is that I know how everything in this entire universe works.
I'm sick and tired of you close minded people telling me to be open-minded. If I wasn't open minded then how the hell did I become a "truther"????? If I wasn't open minded, I would believe the governments every word like most of you people do.

Just what part of "its all part of the game do you not understand?" In order to play the conpiracy game you need two sides one for sane people and one for kooks (your term not mine)
