Here are my questions:
Can a CALCM be detected by civilian radar?
Can a C-32 be modified to house targeting systems for a CALCM?
Is it possible for a CALCM to execute the maneuvers demonstrated in the 9/11 Commission accounts?
Could it have been mistaken for Flight 77?
If so, is there civilian radar accounting for the supposed position of Flight 77 in accordance with eyewitness testimony?
Were there any CALCM launch platforms in the air?
757's are big planes that are tough to produce off the books. How many purchase orders has Boeing received prior to 9/11? Can a discrepancies in the fleet be identified?
Assuming all are military aircraft and relaying the proper IFF signals, would this explain the lack of AAA fire from Pentagon/P-56 defense installations?
Edit: Apologies in advance for the wall of questions, but I just want to see if my theory holds any water at all.

Don't mind the condescending remarks of the previous poster. I think there are some answers there to your questions, but not all.
As always, the truth movement ignores the fact that THEY are the ones that need to supply the answers. The "official story" is the "accpeted story". In order to change that, "you" must educate the world that your suspicions are correct.

If "debunkers" bother to supply anything more than 1 word posts depends on how charitable "we" are, and whether or not "we" sense anything other than an ignorant troofer.
ignorant troofer.
Id think that as a mod, you'd see that logic.

I'm wondering if the plane that was witnessed flying on the north side of the legendary CITGO station wasn't used as the targeting system for a CALCM, which is what actually struck the Pentagon, fired from another aircraft some time before the impact.

I would say no it doesn't hold any water. Sorry, but in order to "deny ignorance" as you previously stated one would have to realize and accept that no one saw a missle, no missle debris have been photographed or recovered on the site, nothing but airplane parts and bodies of the passengers.

What is denying ignorance of no one seen a missle?
Please show proof to support your statement of dead passengers bodies?

A 757/C-32 is a HUGE aircraft that takes literal tons of material to construct. How many were supposed to be around in 2001 and how many were around in 2002? Are any C-32's unaccounted for? Would that not answer definitively if it were a military craft or an AA flight that hit the Pentagon given the number of eyewitnesses that identify the plane as a 757/C-32?
We Saw a Missile Fly into the Pentagon!?
An Account of a Personal Experience
Professor David H. Edwards
January 27, 2006
Following my usual commuting pattern, I parked my car at the Anacostia Station of the Metro Line sometime after 9:00 AM, then took the Green Line into L?Enfante Station, where I transferred to the Orange Line on my way to the Capitol South Station.
Immediately after I boarded the Orange Line train, a young man and a young woman, both in their early twenties and wearing backpacks, burst into the subway car, shouting and exhibiting extreme excitement and agitation. They addressed the entire car, which was mostly empty except for me and perhaps three or four other men in suits. The young people yelled: ?We were standing at the Pentagon Station, waiting for the train to come, and we saw a missile fly into the Pentagon! We saw it, we saw it!? One of the men sitting closer to them must have asked for clarification, because they reiterated the same information several times, saying repeatedly: ?A missile, we saw it, a missile, it flew right into the Pentagon. I can?t believe it. Now it?s on fire, there?s smoke!? They continued in this vein from the L?Enfante Plaza Station until I got off at the Capitol South exit.

9/11 Pentagon Eyewitness Describes Having Seen Global Hawk *PIC*
Civilian Pilot Saw Global Hawk and Control Plane
Christopher Bollyn
An eyewitness from the Pentagon has come forward with an astonishing account that debunks the official 9/11 story and corroborates the hypothesis that an unmanned – and weaponized – Global Hawk drone was involved in the attack.
Nearly 5 years after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, an eyewitness from the Pentagon has come forth with testimony, which, if accurate, completely debunks the official version that a hijacked Boeing 757 flew into the 5-sided military fortress housing the U.S. Department of Defense.
Samuel D. Danner, a civilian pilot and electrical engineer from Hagerstown, Maryland, says he was trying to get out of Washington on the morning of 9/11 after hearing of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Having made a wrong turn, Danner wound up heading south on Washington Blvd. (Virginia Highway 27), the highway that passes alongside the western side of the Pentagon. It was from the shoulder of Highway 27, across from the Pentagon, that Danner says he observed the approaching aircraft involved in the attack.
Danner's eyewitness account corroborates the theory that an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), known as Global Hawk, was flown by remote control into the newly renovated section of the Pentagon, the fortress of the Department of War that was built on a low lying area formerly known as Hell's Bottom. Although Danner's testimony is unique in its detail and description of the aircraft, it is supported by an abundance of photographic evidence and numerous statements made by other eyewitnesses.
Eyewitness Says Global Hawk Hit Pentagon on 9/11
Samuel Danner (electrical engineer for AmTrak), was involved in the clean-up at the Pentagon crash site and inspected the debris at the site. He said, "It was not a Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon. The plane looked like a hump-back whale." He thinks a Global Hawk hit the Pentagon. (There were only seven made as of 9/11/01 and two were missing at the time.)
Danner is a former pilot. He said the aircraft that hit the Pentagon was very quiet with one engine near the back. He also saw a second plane overhead and wonders if it was controlling the plane that hit the Pentagon. He walked the lawn and picked up small pieces of debris with others. He did not see any bodies from the aircraft.
Danner is very ill now with lymphoma, which may be the result of DU exposure at the Pentagon on 9/11. He wants to talk now (after seeing "Loose Change") because "it's been bugging me."
The Global Hawk fired a DU missile that penetrated the thick concrete wall of the Pentagon. DU was detected at the time and workers on the scene later in the day wore protective equipment.
It is *not* an opinion that no one saw a missile, nor recovered said missile, it is a fact. Please don't confuse the two.
an opinion that no one saw a missile, nor recovered said missile,
Please show proof to support your statement of dead passengers bodies?
Certainly, right after you show proof of the missile, otherwise this entire thread is pointless and is nothing but a made up "theory".
Thank you, come again.

The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at Walter Reed was involved in identifying victims at the Pentagon. Identification took place at a lab at Dover Air Force Base, as well as another lab in Rockville, Maryland.
Many of the remains were badly burned, but remains for all but five of the victims were identified. Remains were also found belonging to the five hijackers. Over 50 forensic specialists and other personnel were involved in identifying the remains.
Remains of additional passengers were recovered during debris sifting operations: Mary Jane Booth, Charles F. Burlingame III (pilot), David M. Charlebois (first officer), Eddie A. Dillard, Barbara Edwards, Dana Falkenberg, Stanley R. Hall, Yvonne E. Kennedy, Christopher C. Newton, Robert Penninger, Zandra F. Ploger, Lisa J. Raines, Diane M. Simmons, John D. Yamnicky, Sr., Shuyin Yang. Remains of other victims (non-passengers) at the Pentagon were also recovered during debris sifting operations: John J. Chada, Julian T. Cooper, Brenda C. Gibson, Ronald F. Golinski, ET1 Ronald J. Hemenway, James T. Lynhc, Rhonda S. Rasmussen, Antoinette M. Sherman.
Anyone can tell a story, or be mistaken (hmm, 5 years after the fact on a truther website article, 1 guy claims a missile) (lol), I wish you luck on your quest of finding actual proof of a missile, since you have proven absolutely nothing here.
You post stories? From truther websites? LOL. Sorry, there is no proof there of anything. Zip. Zilch. Nada. All the witnesses that could actually see the plane, did see a plane.
The first story is obvious that the plane was mistaken for a missile...an easy mistake to make since it happened so fast and most likely caught quite a few people by surprise, this also happened at WTC, but as you know we have plenty of video confirming there was no missiles involved.

Alrighty... that's the kind of information I was looking for. Fair enough on the size, my thinking was screwed up and kept picturing a 777 in my head even after seeing the dimensions of a 757 and knowing it not to be as large. Thanks for pointing that out. Four is at least an easily verifiable number of aircraft... too much so I would think, in fact, to be considered for use in what would be the greatest conspiracy this century. C-32 theory... out the window.

I would hardly call a 757 a "HUGE" aircraft. They're narrowbody aircraft, and they're quite small for an airliner. As for a target pod of some sort, there is no way that you could mount and hide a target laser on a C-32 and not have it be instantly obvious to anyone that knows planes, especially maintenance personnel and planewatchers.
There are only 4 C-32s in service. They got the first of them in June of 1998 and the last one in December of the same year. They were never planned to be bought in large numbers, and it would be immediately obvious if any of them were missing.

1-So by your saying "you", I assume you mean me.
2-So your saying that the members of this site should be grateful that pinch supplied any answer at all,
And to be honest, anyone that just takes what Pinch, or Alex Jones, or Mark Roberts, or David Ray Griffin says at face value... without doing their own vetting process.... is not worth wasting more than a few lines on anyways.
F.B.I. Counsel: No Attempt Made By F.B.I. To Formally Identify 9/11 Plane Wreckage
Aidan Monaghan
03/18/08
Contained within a March 14, 2008 "DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT" with the Nevada District U.S. Court, concerning a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Mr. Aidan Monaghan (Case #: 2:07-cv-01614-RCJ-GWF) to order the production of Federal Bureau of Investigation records concerning the 4 aircraft involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick A. Rose has indicated on behalf of the FBI, that records indicating the collection and positive identification of recovered wreckage created by these federally registered aircraft, do not exist.
Defendants motion reads in part:
"Since being served with the Summons and Amended Complaint, Federal Defendant, with assistance of its attorneys, has analyzed Plaintiff's request and conducted a search for responsive records. Federal Defendant has determined that there are no responsive records. The identities of the airplanes hijacked in the September 11 attacks was never in question, and, therefore, there were no records generated "revealing the process by which wreckage recovered by defendant, from aircraft used during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, was positively identified by defendant . . . as belonging to said aircraft . . . (Amend Compl. Inj. Relief #15 at 1.)"
However, this claim is directly contradicted by public comments offered by Carol Carmody, Vice-Chairman National Transportation Safety Board and Marion C. Blakey, Chairman National Transportation Safety Board, who both indicated in 2002 that FBI director Robert Mueller requested NTSB assistance with 9/11 aircraft wreckage identification and that the NTSB did perform 9/11 aircraft wreckage identification analysis. Full Article
The government alleges that four wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September 11 2001 , resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On the contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was deliberately kept hidden from public view. The hard evidence would have included hundreds of critical time-change aircraft items, plus security videotapes that were confiscated by the FBI immediately following each tragic episode.
With all the evidence readily available at the Pentagon crash site, any unbiased, rational investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757 did not fly into the Pentagon as alleged. Similarly, with all the evidence available at the Shanksville, Pennsylvania crash site, it was most doubtful that a passenger airliner caused the obvious hole in the ground and certainly not the Boeing 757 as alleged. Regarding the planes that allegedly flew into the two WTC towers, it appears that heavy aircraft were involved in each case, but no evidence has been produced that would support the government's version of what actually caused the total destruction of the buildings, let alone proving the identity of the aircraft. That is the central problem with the government's 911 story.
As painful and heartbreaking as was the loss of innocent lives and the lingering health problems of thousands more, a most troublesome and nightmarish probability remains that so many Americans appear to have been involved in the most heinous conspiracy in our country's history.
