Since it was by no means a short walk to my car, I was upset with myself for being so distracted. (Therefore he was facing the direction of the parking lot) Approximately 10 steps out from between Wings 4 and 5, I was making a gentle right turn towards the security check-in building just above Wing 4 when I became aware of something unusual. (Once outside the wings walking to his car, he turned right toward the security check in building.)

1. Do you agree that Terry Morin specifically stated in 2001 that the plane was "right over the top" of him and the Navy Annex and that he confirmed in 2006 that the fuselage of the plane was directly over him and the Navy Annex?
I can’t remember exactly what I was thinking about at that moment, but I started to hear an increasingly loud rumbling behind me and to my left. As I turned to my left, I immediately realized the noise was bouncing off the 4-story structure that was Wing 5. One to two seconds later the airliner came into my field of view. 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).

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.
If I would have seen a side view I could have told the people it was an American Airlines jet. Because I would have seen the stripes. Didn't see the stripes I saw the silver belly.

I had just reached the elevator in the 5th Wing of BMDO/Federal Office Building (FOB) #2 – call it approximately 9:36 AM.
I was already trying to make some sense out of the World Trade Tower attacks having heard about them on the radio. The news was sketchy, but the fact that it was a terrorist attack was already known.
I then realized that I was wearing sunglasses and needed to go back to Lot 3 to retrieve my clear lenses. Since it was by no means a short walk to my car, I was upset with myself for being so distracted.

I guess you can't understand a thing anyone writes, Craig. Morin was outside the wings when AA77 approached.
There is big difference and it is important to be able to understand what you are reading. Reading comprehension is an important skill. Unfortunately I see it is almost always lacking in the CT camp. I wonder why this is. 10 ft out from in between the wings means he is 10 ft AWAY from being in between the wings. He was not walking in between the wings he was outside them and outside the gap about 10 ft. And since this is the case, the 757 was traveling over the road next to the Annex.
And once agian: PERSPECTIVE. Did I not say this before? Or did you ignore it and hope it goes away?For somebody a few blocks away a plane flying along side the annex, it would appear it is "directly over" the annex. Logically this is a very possible scenario and MUST be taken into account. Did you account for this possibility or hope no one would notice it when you make your claims? Cause if you are truely interested in finding out the truth, you MUST take EVERYTHING into account. Not just cherry picking and hedging and trimming to your preconcieved notions.

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. I could now only see the tail of the aircraft. 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. There was a large explosion noise and the low frequency sound echo that comes with this type of sound. Associated with that was the increase in air pressure, momentarily, like a small gust of wind. For those formerly in the military, it sounded like a 2000lb bomb going off roughly ½ mile in front of you. At once there was a huge cloud of black smoke that rose several hundred feet up. Elapsed time from hearing the initial noise to when I saw the impact flash was between 12 and 15 seconds.

Pay attention to the frase ""to the Northeast of the FOB"". That's in the direction of the Citgo gas station, and not over the clover leaf roads South to Southwest of the Pentagon, as depicted in the AA77 flight path by all official sources.

Why do you keep going off topic?
And why do you keep ignoring the other posts?
In the first account Morin does not say that he SAW the stripes.
In the 2nd account he confirms specifically that he did NOT see the stripes or the side of the plane.
Now pay attention because this is key...
In BOTH accounts he describes the plane DIRECTLY over him which proves he COULD NOT have seen the stripes and also of course that the plane flew directly over the Navy Annex proving it did not hit the Pentagon.
Confusing a 757 for a 737 to a pilot, is like confusing a Ford Truck to a Corvette for the average layman.

Really???
Then you agree that a 757 hit the Pentagon, correct? The C-130 pilot identified the aircraft as a 757.
" When I saw the initial explosion I was not able to see exactly where or what it had impacted, but remember trying to approximate a position to give to ATC. "
“Approximately 10 steps out from between Wings 4 and 5, I was making a gentle right turn towards the security check-in building just above Wing 4 when I became aware of something unusual.”

Wouldn't what Morin says also prove that the plane was not in a bank?
