I believe I saw the tail dip slightly to the right indicating a minor turn in that direction. The tail was barely visible when I saw the flash and subsequent fireball rise approximately 200 feet above the Pentagon.

What type of "decoy aircraft" are you talking about?
Was it another painted 757 looking like an AA plane? Or was it a C-130? A private jet? You use the term decoy aircraft and you don't even say what it is or what it was suppose to do? Unless you are are referring to the C-130 which showed up on scene AFTER the impact. So what was this "decoy aircraft" suppose to be doing? Was they decoy aircraft hitting the Pentagon? Its really starting to get confusing, unless this is what you are counting on, confuse your opponent to the point of submission and claim victory.

It is about evidence proving that it flew directly over the Navy Annex.
If you feel the evidence presented in the OP is not valid please make a case for it otherwise please admit that it's compelling and that there has been a case made that the plane flew directly over the navy annex.

Now hold on one cotton pickin moment here Craig.
You say a decoy plane flew over the annex now? A "white" colored plane? That was the decoy? And Morin stated he saw a silver plane with red and white stripes on it parallel to the FOB. From what I can read, there is nothing in Morin's statement about a mysterious white plane. Just a big honking silver with red + white stripes plane flying towards the Pentagon. And from his very account along the FOB. You see, this is exactly why you are getting so much heat for what you guys are claiming. Such inconsistancies and just, I can't even describe it. I think Morin would have noticed a white plane with different colors at that low level. (Unless again, you expect me to believe the "inside jobs" folks didn't think about painting the decoy in the correct colors and hope and pray nobody notices the difference, which i find VERY hard to believe).
So I fail to see where anywhere here, Craig, they can have a second mystery plane flying low with the AA757 and not be noticed, and the only plane ever noticed was the C-130 AFTERWARDS. And once again, in Morin's own statement it WAS a 757 AA and it DID fly parallel to the FOB bringing it to a SoC way and consistant with the damage and debris, and it DID impact the Pentagon. Your very own witness shoots you down.

all I'm trying to say here is that I had no side view. If I would have seen a side view I could have told the people it was an American Airlines. Because I would have seen the stripes. I didn't see the stripes I saw the silver belly.
Everything was shaking and vibrating, including the ground. I estimate that the aircraft was no more than 100 feet above me (30 to 50 feet above the FOB) in a slight nose down attitude. The plane had a silver body with red and blue stripes down the fuselage. I believed at the time that it belonged to American Airlines, but I couldn’t be sure.
"Having just witnessed the CNN coverage of New York" "with a head full of the horror in New York, I walked in the office and stood peering out of the window looking at the Pentagon. ... As I stood there, I instinctively ducked at the extremely loud roar and whine of a jet engine spooling up. Immediately, the large silver cylinder of an aircraft appeared in my window, coming over my right shoulder as I faced the Westside of the Pentagon directly towards the heliport. The aircraft, looking to be either a 757 or Airbus, seemed to come directly over the annex, as if it had been following Columbia Pike - an Arlington road leading to Pentagon. The aircraft was moving fast, at what I could only be estimate as between 250 to 300 knots. All in all, I probably only had the aircraft in my field of view for approximately 3 seconds. The aircraft was at a sharp downward angle of attack, on a direct course for the Pentagon. It was "clean", in as much as, there were no flaps applied and no apparent landing gear deployed. He was slightly left wing down as he appeared in my line of sight, as if he'd just "jinked" to avoid something. As he crossed Route 110 he appeared to level his wings, making a slight right wing slow adjustment as he impacted low on the Westside of the building to the right of the helo, tower and fire vehicle around corridor 5. What instantly followed was a large yellow fireball accompanied by an extremely bass sounding, deep thunderous boom. The yellow fireball rose quickly as black smoke engulfed the entire Westside of the Pentagon, obscuring the whole of the heliport. I could feel the concussion and felt the shockwave of the blast impact the window of the Annex, knocking me against the desk.
"We saw the shadow of a plane. We heard the engine. We all said, 'That plane is flying kind of close.' "
"I saw the plane at the Navy Annex area," he said. "I knew it was going to strike the building because it was very, very low -- at the height of the street lights. It knocked a couple down." The plane would have been seconds from impact -- the annex is only a few hundred yards from the Pentagon. He said he heard the plane "power-up" just before it struck the Pentagon. "As soon as it struck the building I just called in an attack, because I knew it couldn't be accidental," Bright said. He jumped into his police cruiser and headed to the area.
"I was driving away from the Pentagon in the South Pentagon lot when I hear this huge rumble, the ground started shaking … I saw this [plane] come flying over the Navy Annex. It flew over the van and I looked back and I saw this huge explosion, black smoke everywhere."
"I looked to my left and saw the plane coming in," said Elliott, who watched it for several seconds. "It was banking and garnering speed. I felt it was headed for the Pentagon."
By that time the noise was absolutely deafening. I instantly had a very bad feeling about this but things were happening very quickly. The aircraft was essentially right over the top of me and the outer portion of the FOB (flight path parallel the outer edge of the FOB). Everything was shaking and vibrating, including the ground. I estimate that the aircraft was no more than 100 feet above me (30 to 50 feet above the FOB) in a slight nose down attitude. The plane had a silver body with red and blue stripes down the fuselage. I believed at the time that it belonged to American Airlines, but I couldn’t be sure. It looked like a 737 and I so reported to authorities.

As the aircraft flew ever lower I started to lose sight of the actual airframe as a row of trees to the Northeast of the FOB blocked my view.
