But a hellfire missile has a maximum range of 5 miles, whereas that 767 is coming in from more than 90 miles away.

Actually, it is not the IR guidance that is rubbish, it is the ordinance(the jet) that is rubbish. It does not have the maneuverability as say.... a hellfire missile, so it can not make extreme adjustments.
THIN AIR?!?! It's reflecting off of the building, off of the plume, off of the thick smoke and fire, and off of another building.. I don't see it ever reflecting off of thin air.
But still why use a laser? When you can use GPS or radar guidance? And why move the laser across the building?
Hmm I swear I just posted exactly two methods of firing... I guess I'll post it again...
www.lockheedmartin.com...
The missile may be employed by lock-on before or lock-on after launch for increased platform survivability.
They probably use it like a laser guided bomb...
The Laser Guided Bomb flightpath is divided into three phases: ballistic, transition, and terminal guidance. During the ballistic phase, the weapon continues on the unguided trajectory established by the flightpath of the delivery aircraft at the moment of release.
Although, we must first prove this is or isn't a laser before we speculate. So far the evidence is pointing towards it being a laser.
So if it can be anywhere on the building, why use guidance that is accurate to within a few feet normally?
The laser was on the WTC building for quite a few seconds. If the mission was to get the jet to crash ANYWHERE into the building, I would say it doesn't matter exactly where it was pointing, or how "steady" it was. As long as it was on the building.
The Army is mounting precision-guided weapons on hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hazelwood said.
The MQ-5B Hunter will carry the laser-guided GBU-44/B Viper Strike, a 42-pound glide bomb with a one-yard wingspan that can strike within one meter of its aim point.
The Army intends to increase the number of Viper Strike bombs it intends to buy, but declined to give specific numbers, said Tim Owings, the Army’s deputy project manager for UAVs.

Here you go, this is a reflection of the IR light from my TV remote bouncing off of a wall at about 3 inches away. You can clearly see the IR light on the wall. Now, if this was an infrared laser, the "speckle" would be many times more bright.

Once the jet hit, that is when the laser moved to another building, because it doesn't matter where it is pointed anymore.

Since when does smoke reflect like a solid object?
Smoke is the airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes pyrolysis or combustion, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass.

Oh and it definitely can't reflect off a flame. Do you know that fire isn't an object it's a reaction? Or are we in the dark ages?

According to you yes. But If you had posted concrete undeniable evidence, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Here is some more evidence to my argument that the government wouldn't have used a laser guided aircraft but instead, they would have used a remote piloted vehicle to hit the towers. Of course they did neither.

Also, if you read above you'll notice that the laser guided bomb can hit within 1 meter of its aim point. This also goes to show that the targeting laser must be small. A targeting laser that would expand to 12 ft, could not hit a target within approx. 3.3 ft.
Whether illusion or actual size, the 12 ft dot is what the camera see's. So if a military camera would see the same 12 ft. dot, it couldn't hit it's target within 3.3 ft.

Seriously, this is rediculous. Show me one example of a laser targeting system that isn't aimed at the target, even well after the ordinance has been fired, until 4-5 seconds before impact.

What do you suggest guided the plane until the 'laser targeting' took over?

Doesn't look like your laser to me. So why is it that shape?
Speculation, speculation, speculation. It seems that is all you have. You are claiming to know what the government "would have used". Thats the lowest form of argument ever.
You then proceed to say "of course they did neither" as if you have inside information or proof, which you don't have. This is more speculation.
LOL back to the size of the laser again for you huh??? This will never end, and it is getting quite boring. The laser dot is not 12ft. It's reflection is though... that speckle reflection is a unwanted effect from a laser that can NOT be avoided, even by the military.
Once again, you have no argument. May I ask, where are you pulling these arguments out of?
Not only that, but you show me your total lack of knowledge on how the laser homing works. When the ordinance such as a Hellfire sees a 12ft laser reflection, it does not pick any spot in that reflection and aim for it. IT CENTERS THE LASER IN THE MIDDLE OF ITS TARGETING SYSTEM AND FLIES TO THE CENTER OF THE LASER.
It would not matter if the laser is 12 feet, or 50 feet. The ordinance will center itself into the middle of the laser reflection.
You are going on ignore before your uneducated wild claims reach a nerve that you don't want to mess with.

Also, it could be a compression issue. If you stand back away from the camera, it appears to be a whole object. I don't think this section of video was a "camera zoom" I think it was only a resize of original video with video software.

I never said it wasn't aimed at the target LOL. Read much? You confuse yourself so much that your questions are damn near impossible to answer because you are asking questions that are based on your confusion.

People are debunking your mystery dot hypothesis indirectly by showing evidence that using a laser would be less likely then doing it other ways which would be more accurate and secure.

Why would the government use a less reliable method when carrying out a ONE SHOT attack of this magnitude?

Why is it that as long as it disproves the official story, everything which is useful to the 9/11 truth movement in fuzzy video is a compression artefact used as a counter argument?

Regarding the Pentagon here is a long list of people that saw A PLANE
**note** I am not claiming the ABL did ALL the work, but it did help the aircraft's do more damage. Possibly helped "weaken the steel" of the WTC's with heat.

Because most of all the evidence is contained within compressed images and video?!!? G, that was so hard to answer.
