Why would they want to use a VISIBLE beam when an IR beam would have been a better choice..not only to prevent it from being seen, but an IR beam has a tighter beamwidth at a given focal length than a visible beam does.

Also, why doesnt the beam show itself in the smoke..as it should and does not????
Any visible laser beam, when passing thorugh smoke, will show the beam AND the spot the beam is focused on. In this video, the beam does not appear in the smoke at all, and the intensity of the beam spot is bright enough to see the beam through the smoke as well..yet we do not see that!!!

Third, I've seen no recent threads discussing this on either side. So I'd like to see any updated theories or evidence confirming a debunking please.

Looks like a sun reflection off a shiny metal plane right before impact.
It's also not very on target since it's quite a bit above the impact. You could use the plane as a scale. That would make the "laser" like a few feet in size. Must be those new giant laser designators the NWO has been making.
I wouldn't just point-blank say it's a laser target designator. There are three options that I can see, sorted from most likely to least likely, IMO.
1. It's a reflection in the WTC windows of the sun hitting the airplane.
2. It's fake.
3. It's a laser target designator.
I'm open to all three possibilities, but I see #1 as most likely.
my skepticism indicates it could be some sort of glare coming off the plane but i never seen a perfect circle glare before .. who knows?
But personally, I think ZeddicusZulZorander makes a good point with the scale of the dot of light and the fact that it is not reflecting right at the impact point. Also, I'm not sure if laser target designators create a visible dot of light?
Another point that at the very least "suggests" that it isn't a laser designator.
The spot looks white to me. There aren't any white light lasers, much less white light laser designators. There are probably red or green laser designators available, but I'm guessing that most are IR, which would not be visible to a camera.

It moves to the building to the right when the plane hits how could it be a reflection.
Excellent point! I hadn't noticed that before. It pans across the fireball and down onto the other building. Several of my previous points are moot. It is not coming from the aircraft itself.
Several people commented to me on AIM after I showed it to them that they thought it was a floating piece of paper or a bird, but after watching it several dozen more times, I'm even more convinced it's not. And here's why:
1. If you watch it when it passes over the fireball and the second building, you can see that it's changing depth. Light does this as it moves over objects that have rapid changes in the z-axis.
2. It's moving in a very consistant and nearly straight line. A bird would fly around more and not move so flawlessly, in my opinion. And a floating piece of paper would be caught by the wind, drifting around in different directions, I think.

You all make good points, but it is none of the above. Watch it again. It is not a reflection, it the the light from the wing of the plane. Watch closely and you will see it blink just like airplane lights do.
Actually, watch it again. It's not anything from the airplane itself, because it continues to pan across the fireball and lower building after the aircraft has impacted the tower. The aircraft cannot be creating a small point of light to be bouncing off objects after it has been destroyed already.
It does look like a bird at first, but it could be the reflection of the planes wings.
After the explosion it appears to be fluttering and looks like all the other pieces of debris falling down.
Now, if it was a laser designator, then why does it move?
The plane isnt moving along with it so what would be the point of having one?
Why would they wait until the last minute like that? Why would it move at all?
If it is a laser, why didn't they just turn it off once the target was hit?
I think that it makes more sense to say its the planes reflection or a bird at first. After the explosion it looks like debris, unfortunately the quality of the video leaves it open to interpretation.
I don't agree that it makes sense to say it's two different things when it is clearly moving in the same exact direction before and after the impact. And watch it when it moves onto the lower building. It is clearly distorting as it moves across the face of the building.
i don't think it's any targeting light, or it would have showed up on ALL the pictures and videos of the tower. 'tis either faked or a bird, imo.
Not that I think its a laser but, IR lasers of high enough power will seem white to video cameras that have cheapo IR blockers or none at all.
If any one wants to test that, point a TV remote at a web cam or any other CCD camera from a foot or more, away from the lens and press some buttons. It will be either light blue or white. I think its paper. Then again we could say those figures we saw in the explosion after people got some "stills", could have meant it was all the work of the devil.
That video is an interesting find. It doesn't offer any clues as to what the object is, but it would definitely suggest that it's not a point of light.
As for timing between the two clips being the same time period, they're both beginning just before the point of second impact... so that would indicate to me that they are at the same time.
The film Loose Change makes reference to this white dot and shows it from multiple angles ruling out a reflection or a reflected piece of garbage in my opinion. Not only that but in the Naudet film, especially the DVD version where it's clearer, the white flash appears just before the first plane hits too so that can't be ignored either.
Come one, nobody uses visual lasers for this stuff you use lasers in the I.R range which is invisible to the naked eye.
Its absurb that you would use a visual laser for this
It's a bird. There are quite a few dotted around in the various videos. It doesn't disappear altogether but it is more difficult to see when it is between buildings. It seems to be flying more or less perpendicular to the lower building on the right, although it appears to come from across the face of the impacted tower, due to the 2D/3D effect. The flickering effect was the wings beating.
Even though it chokes me to say it, and I think someone else has already mentioned it, video cameras pick up IR a treat, if someone shone a bright IR laser on the building then the camcorder would pick it up as a bright spot. You can see for yourself using an IR laser if you have one, or simply a TV remote.
For the record though, I definately do not think it was a laser spot, it really looks like a bird or something.
Some points to adress here.
1) If the "laser" was coming from the plane, it would hit where the "laser" is on the tower.
2) Why would you then make sure that the "laser" is visible for everyone to see?
3) Why is the "laser" not seen in any of the other clips?
4) If you want something for the plane to aim for, I think the tower itself might be easier.
I think this is the sun glinting off some paper or debris as people have suggested.
Can anyone verify IF the kind of lasers used for painting military targets are VISIBLE, even on reflection, to the human eye or cameras?
Because I had allways thought that they were invisible to the eye and cameras, or else the people being painted with it would be able to see it and, well, move.
I have used laser designators or laser painters whilst in the military. They are not your average day laser pen and are accurate and powerful.
A designator can be visible if thats all its meant to do is "Designate" a position to a allied aircraft however IR painters/designators can be used to direct in weaponry.

This debate has gone on for many years and will keep going on.
Someone needs to build an exact miniature replica of one of the twin towers while your at it make 2.
Then calculate the equivalent of an airplane explosion on that scale, make a miniature bomb out of jet fuel and place it on each corresponding floor then video tape it and set them off to see what happens.
Whether they collapse on themselves or not we can argue for the next 10 years how inaccurate the test was or wasn't.
Chances are the person who makes it will not have the heart to destroy it so add another 10 years of convincing them to do so.
Oh don't forget we need every piece of furniture, phone, and miniature staples all in the exact setting, we also need full miniature electrical and plumbing in the building.
On second thought lets just do the third building light it on fire and see if it falls
I remember distinctly seeing that white dot on 9/11 while watching the news. It was stationary and large enough to be noticeable. My first thought was a possible infrared marker for a laser guided system but I quickly dismissed it. I'm glad to know others have noticed it.
THERE ARE OTHER VIDEOS FROM VARIOUS NEWS OUTLETS THAT WILL CONFIRM THIS "DOT". It can not be seen with the naked eye since it is infrared.
The dot was real and I personally saw it on 9/11 from a news source at a DIFFERENT ANGLE. Do you think it was coincidence? Only an infrared laser beam is capable of creating that dot. Interestingly, it was not visible on some news stations. I will NEVER forget it.
9/11 is very hard to forget and this is one fact I distinctly remember. Call me crazy if you like but you need to start searching through other 9/11 news videos to see it for yourself.
High Res Video: Dot was not Captured!! (Infrared is likely explanation)
This video supports my assertion that only an infrared laser could have created the dot. Check out the hi res video! This really freaks me out.
MSNBC (Now you see it)
www.youtube.com...
CNN (Now you don't)
www.youtube.com...
MSNBC video also confirms that the dot is real (same exact location during crash). Unfortunately, I cannot find a high res & complete version online.
I guess no one noticed that the "laser" shows up to the left of the tower in the AIR before it flutters in front of the tower. As far as I know a laser point isnt going to show up in mid air.
That takes care of that theory...IMHO
Maybe nobody else sees the humor in this, but did anybody really think it would be necessary to use a laser to target the tower? For chrissake it was ONE HUNDRED AND TEN STORIES HIGH! The pilot was looking for a little white dot?
A Common Precise Targeting Method
The military regularly uses invisible lasers(infrared) for targeting objects. GPS or radio signal methods are inaccurate if you want to target a specific area (ie: a floor)of a large structure while traveling at high speeds. Aircraft carriers still use a similar method of visual alignment for every jet that lands. It is a simple but effective technique.
Before anyone doubts the authenticity of the video, I can personally attest to the fact that it was broadcasted on MSNBC on 9/11. I remember viewing the MSNBC version on 9/11 and it had enough detail to notice it was odd & and out of place. If we get a chance to examine the high res version, anyone can clearly see what I mean. I can't find the full video online, there should be copies in many homes.
How can you explain the dot's invisibility on other cameras? Surely, a bright white dot captured at long distance would be seen everywhere if it was at the visible light spectrum (ie: reflection). The simple fact that it was not visible on most cameras that day concerns me since it is a characteristic of an invisible light (infrared). Only an intentionally placed infrared laser can create a bright dot at that distance. Why? Where did it come from? I'll let others speculate on that.
Im not saying I believe the laser theory. But for the sake of argument if it were true then it would imply the plane was not being flown by pilots in the cockpit but by a remote guidance system and the laser was needed to direct it to the target.
Very interesting footage. First time I have seen it. For the most part, I feel that it is some type of debris from the other tower, however, I find it 'interesting' how the 'dot' appears to begin at the very left edge.
Anything in the South Tower or second hit video is suspect and
considered doctored.
Since the referenced flights were never scheduled or had pasengers
the planes were unmanned, the Arabs were never seen in the airport
security cameras and no boarding list of true origin ever existed.
Only the first hit film is considered true and is argued about as to size
of the plane. Both hits bring out large fireball at entrance and some
flames out a side. The second hit film is backward physics, and impossible
according to some analysts. Great care was taken to show how the
first plane entered as a debunk of the small plane issue but then it
totally makes the second hit look like a fraudulent TV effect.
So thats what this laser thing is all about, the planes must have been
remote controlled and one Air Force Officer on satellite company
stock board once said it may become possible at some time.
Was it on the original and forgot to take it out. Now it turns into a
gigantic piece of paper. The plane isn't even there, off to the right
there is a plane in position to a shoot napalm missile into the side
that explodes with the fire ball.
So in two fights no one died, the PA crash has no plane parts,
the forth referenced flight that day may have been give as incorrect
as well and another crash plane used. This is just from people looking
into flight records and not accepting what TV stations say.
But video cameras DO detect infrared, and it shows up white on the recording (just try pointing you're TV remote at your camcorder and press a button to see it for yourself).
I do believe that it is an infrared laser - but not a targeting laser. Airliners are equipped with Low-Level Windshear Alert Systems (LLWAS), to warn pilots of dangerous downbursts on the glideslope. These systems measure diffraction of a laser beam, most likely in the infrared spectrum. I think it's likely that the system automatically activated due to the low altitude, projecting a laser dot onto the side of the building.
Looking at the video, to me it does not look like a reflection, and it definitely doesn't look like a piece of debris. If you look at all the other footage of the event, all the other debris is being blown around and rotating at inconsistent angles due to the wind. This moves is a uniform direction from right to left, at a constant downward angle, at a consistent speed and keeps a consistent brightness.
Scale.
Meaning, if that's a laser designator.....that's one GIGANTIC beam. Can you imiagine the size of the device it would take to make a beam that appears to be about 20 feet in diameter (at least)?
Also, why would 'they' need a laser designator? For what purpose? If you were trying to pull off a massive conspiracy, wouldn't it be in your best interest to make the plan as uncomplicated as possible? A laser designator would require an operator(s). One that can project a 20 foot diameter beam probably needs a crew and a large structure to house and operate it.
