So what do you think it was coming from the opposite direct as UA93 officially did, swooping down to tree-top level, practically on top of her car seconds before the "crash" and what was it doing in the vicinity?

That alleged plane didn't supposedly arrive at the scene until many minutes after the "crash," so that right there proves it wasn't that reported Lear jet. Try again.

Also, go watch the video interview of her again. Right at the beginning she's shown a photo of a white Falcon jet and an A-10 Warthog and asked if any of those are what she saw and she answer an emphatic "NO" to both.

Will you now concede that your theory about this doesn't "fly"?

No, becuase accepting her account verbatim is a violation of the laws of physics.
For it to be a small, slow moving, fairly aerobatic craft, it necessarily requires wings and it most certainly wouldn't be soundless.
Unless you want to bring UFOs and antigravity technology into the mix, the craft necessarily had to have wings and it had to have an engine or engines, regardless of whether she saw them or not.

So we must take her account at face value, or not at all?!
Say, are you privy to every type of aircraft in the military's arsenal, even the top secret ones? Remember when Susan said it had that "military look" and that she searched the internet and couldn't find one like it?
Do you agree it's logical to think that *if* the military was going to commit a conspiracy like this that they would use some of the top secret weapons and/or aircraft? yes or no
Btw, GoodolDave, where did you get that idea that Susan McElwain said she saw a wingless plane?
You yourself were the one that started talking about a red missile (nearly wingless), which was depicted in that Amalgam Virgo pamphlet I posted after you introduced that red missile.
Which picture was placed under a real white UAV, the one I meant.
Then ATH911 sliced that word "wingless" in, still connecting that to a missile, in one of his short posts.
And Hooper and you then kept repeating it. But you connected it now not anymore to a red missile, but to a white smooth, rivet-less UAV.
'Wingless', as Hooper and you kept repeating.
But Susan never talked about a missile, she talked about a small plane.
And then you used it to humiliate Susan since ""she could have never seen a small plane without wings ( LaBTop :she NEVER said that ) making those acrobatic maneuvers"", as you said.
[edit on 13/7/10 by LaBTop]
Hooper : the "witness" speaks of a wholly and completely silent craft, without seams or markings, pure white with a spoiler but no wings, making aerobatic maneuvers without disturbing the air it is moving through.

You all need to go back a few pages, where I showed you how the stupid misconception that the small UAV had no wings, was introduced.
And how good old Hooper and GoodOlDave both jumped on that bandwagon and kept repeating all the time that it did not had any wings, thus would be some kind of guided missile which could not fly so slow as described by Susan.

No, my position is if it can be documented that she was mistaken on some things (I.E. what the craft actually looked like), she can be mistaken on other things, (I.E. the actual altitude of the craft).
From what I'm seeing, it's your position that it's all or nothing, because it's patently obvious you want to interpret what McElwain saw as being something sinister.
It doesn't matter, becuase the plane McElwain saw still needed a mechanism to create lift and thrust like every other aircraft does, top secret or no
and it's not surprising that she couldn't find it on the internet becuase she admits she only saw the underside of the craft. How many volumes of "Janes list of undersides of military aircraft" are there?
It's possible, yes, but they wouldn't have used some weird looking thing that stands out in public like a sore thumb. They'd make some advanced top secret craft and rig it to look like a civilian aircraft that noone would notice.

Dominick: And there were no wings or?
Susan: I did not see any wings because, like I said, I saw from mid-belly...
Yes, I can and will admit when I am wrong on any detail, contrary to the truster-posters here.
She had a very small angle of view through her front windshield, as you can easily try out yourself. You can't see airplanes high up in the sky from inside a car, or it must be really far in front of your car. And she reported it as swooping over her roof and filling up her front view.
Also, in the same video, she first said that she saw two other real high flying planes, they looked like triangles to her so far up.
And she saw those two other planes that high up, long after the small UAV swooped just over the roof of her van.
Susan : "" They just looked like a triangle in the sky. It was really HIGH! ""
GoodOlDave : No, actually, you're the one who needs to go back and reread the posts to eliminate the misconceptions. I know 100% that the craft had wings because I know that it was simply an ordinary plane sent to investigate the crash site by controllers. It was ATH who keeps introducing the "no wings" bit, not me, and it's obvious why- you people are so much in love with the idea there was something sinister going on so you're clinging to her story verbatim regardless of how improbable it is. In your world, it simply can't be a Falcon 20 jet she mistakenly saw, it just has to be all these goofball things like top secret wingless aircraft (according to ATH) and secret miniature remote control observation drones (according to you).
I keep telling you truthers that you're only seeing what you want to see here and what you specifically want to see is some secret conspiracy regardless of whether there's really one there or not. Despite your bluster I have yet to see any of you actually prove me wrong.
LaBTop : You know perfectly well that Susan was talking about a white, sort of plastic molded drone with no rivets visible, and the most important remark from her, NOT BIGGER AS HER VAN.
And you have the decadency to re-introduce that Global Hawk which is TEN TIMES BIGGER as a van?
I'll show you one, if you want, which fits her description, with an official date attached, from operation Amalgam Virgo from June 2001, a counter terrorism combined training exercise from 1-2 June 2001.
That's 3.5 months before 911.

GoodOlDave : Are you genuinely trying to say she saw a MQM streaker?!? Dude, those things fly at around 500 MPH. There's no flipping way an object flying 500 MPH is going to fly some 25 feet below the nearby powerlines (her own testimony) dip down so low that it filled her windshield (her own testimony) and then bank up and clear the tree line thirty yards away (her own testimony). Anythign flying 500MPH below the power lines and dipping down over her windshield is going to crash into the ground right in front of her. Sheesh, physics has to apply to your conspiracy stories just as they do the rest of us.
What can fly that isn't as wide as a van? A missile, I guess.
""Originally posted by TrickoftheShade

GoodOlDave : Yeah, but what missile roughly equal to the size of her van travels so slowly that it can fly beneath a 25 foot power line, dip down to fill her windshield, and bank up to avoid a treeline some thirty yards away? The way she describes it verbatim, the only thing that fits is one of those giant sized remote control model airplanes, but we know that can't be it. Not sinister sounding enough.
(LaBTop : HUHHH? what kind of twisted reasoning is all this text? He ignores totally that she clearly describes a slow UAV with wings. A plane, be it small. Not at all any kind of flying pipe, not a missile, but certainly a small light plane with wings !
And that is exactly what she is describing, a "giant sized remote control model airplane", in military circles they call that an UAV or Drone, and you know that damn well ! )
It's blatantly obvious to anyone who can think critically that this craft really didn't fly beneath a 25 foot powerline and Susan McElwain was mistaken as to exactly how low it was flying, but these conspiracy people know that necessarily means she could be mistaken about a number of other things, so to stay loyal to their conspiracy mongoring agenda they'd rather prefer to believe the conspirators invented a machine that could violate the laws of physics. This blind fanaticism of theirs is incredible.
(LaBTop : This is such a prime example of totally twisted reasoning we will probably not see that for a long time anymore. And he is the one talking about fanaticism, good Lord!)
When Viola Saylor was shown a picture of one of these
www.militaryfactory.com...
(LaBTop : linked to is a picture of a big A-10 Thunderbolt Warthog military tank-attack jet with two big rear jet engines and two pair of fins, horizontal and vertical, at the rear tail. All to reinforce the lie of "The Mirror". )
she confirmed that this is what she saw.
(LaBTop : she confirmed exactly the opposite, this was surely not what she saw! She even pointed at all the rivets on both wings and said that the little plane she witnessed close by, had no rivets at all, it was made of smoothly molded white fiberglass.)
I think it's safe to assume she was a bit confused about its size.
