Also, just because I or anyone else says a 'plane' didn't/couldn't punch through 3 rings of the Pentagon does not mean that person can only conclude that it 'flew over'. If i recall you only have one witness who claims that he thought he saw a fly over. One witness? Or am I wrong there too?

The missile in the video you linked to looks and behaves nothing like what they describe.
But regardless, you are completely missing the main point. Hypothetically speaking, even if it was somehow a "modded missile" that scores of people with front row seats mistook for a commercial airliner with large engines, it still could not have hit the building.
Over a dozen witnesses independently place the plane on the Over the Navy Annex (ONA)/North of Citgo (NOC) flight path from multiple excellent vantage points. This flight path is completely irreconcilable with the physical damage.
*That* is why it had to be a flyover. It has nothing to do with anyones speculation as to whether or not a plane, or missile, or anything else could "punch through 3 rings of the Pentagon".
Roosevelt Roberts Jr. did see a large commercial aircraft flying away from the scene seconds after the explosion. Another witness (Dewitt Roseborough) has recently been identified who seems to have seen the same thing. These only serve as confirmation for what we already knew based on the unanimous placement of the plane on the ONA/NOC flight path by the witnesses who saw it as it approached Pentagon.

Which is why my money would be on a missile modification, because something was in the air and witness describe it hitting the building. That means getting a large missile, changing the shape of the body, adding some fake engines to the wings and painting it up like a UA flight.
Pick and choose, mix and match. The technology isn't new..

Yeah I will agree with you there - it went over the Annex. The testimonies fully support that.
But now you're dissing CIT theory by saying the planes path doesn't match the area that got damaged or is inconsistent? So how does that mean it can't hit the building from that approach angle?
According to the fly-over theory the plane still went over the impact hole so the flight path (imo) IS consistent with the damage (minus the altitude), even if it did fly over the Annex, it still flew over the impact zone of the Pentagon, so why couldn't it hit the wall?

According to the Citzen Investigation Team, the Government or whomever wanted to fool the world into thinking American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, along a certain heading that took it through several light poles and low over the freeway just prior to impact.
To do this, They executed the following:
*They flew an aircraft over the Pentagon
*The aircraft traveled along a different heading entirely, on the opposite side of a visible landmark (viz. the Citgo station)
*The aircraft passed nowhere near the light poles in question
*The light poles were sabotaged anyway, in some completely different fashion than aircraft impact
*One light pole was staged to penetrate the windshield of a car, in traffic, again despite the actual aircraft not passing anywhere near overhead
*A large amount of explosives was detonated as the aircraft passed by
*The aircraft then flew away over the Pentagon, where it was allegedly sighted by at least one individual
*The explosion or whatever demolition carried out at the Pentagon left a hole far too small to have been caused by AA 77
*A readable flight data recorder (FDR) was planted (along with an insufficient amount of aircraft debris) that allegedly conflicts with both Their false story and the track of the actual aircraft
And, finally,
The aircraft in question was deliberately painted so as to not even resemble an American Airlines jetliner.

Ok, so ive watched most of the videos on CIT's site, and i must say they are very good. Just to clear some things up, Id like to ask a few questions.
First, Im wondering if Im getting the main point the videos are trying to prove. Basically they are saying, whatever (explosives) caused the damage to the Pentagon made inconsistent damage in relation to the witnesses flight path, forcing "them" to stage another flight path to match with the damage. Right?
Or maybe "they" already had a flight path set to make consistent damage with the buildings and poles, but at the last minute the pilots went off course causing witnesses to see the north side flight path.
Another question I have, and its probably been asked a million times...But, if the plane did fly over the pentagon, where are the plane and passengers? Did they go crash it out in the Atlantic? I mean, Im sure records of all the passengers on board can be found, along with the death records right? Did "they" also stage families of the victims on the plane? Are there any theories on this?
I most recently watched the video about Lloyde and his taxi cab. Im still trying to figure that guy out. He sure is a character, and his changing of stories seems VERY strange. The pictures SHOW where he was CLEARLY, yet he denies ever being there....I just cant understand that.
This isnt a poor attempt to "debunk" the videos in any way...Just curious.
I hope we learn the truth some day.
BTW, I live in the outskirts of DC and i have a friend that is always listening to scanners with a big antenna on his roof. He lives about 5 mins away from Andrews AFB, and he could pick up signals from them. He swears to this day he heard what really happened on 9/11, but he has never told me and says he wont talk about it.

Could the plane have launched a missile or plowed a bomb into the Pentagon, or the bombs inside the Pentagon exploded as the plane neared?

The plane was off course with the physical damage so it could not have launched a missile.
Plus out of the dozens of witnesses we have spoken with somebody would have seen it launch a missile if that happened.
same as what happened at the WTC.
Real planes used as psychological tools of deception while the actual destruction was covertly implemented with pre-planted explosives.

Yes, that is my main point and CIT's. I can only conclude that you haven't really watched CIT's presentations, because it is impossible to miss this. The plane has to approach from south of the Navy Annex and south of Citgo in order to hit the light poles, or to cause the observed damage to the Pentagon because of the angle of this damage. If the plane hit the building from ONA/NOC it would have caused completely different damage, as SPreston explained above.

So Looking at the images below again and each of the 2 flight paths, is there any possibility that a missle could have been on the SOC and the PLANE on the NOC? i agree the poles were probably still staged as a missle couldn't have struck them due to the size of a missle, but could not the missle/drone have flown the SOC in between the poles?
if it was launched after citgo pass or prior to, then that launch wouldn't necessarily have been seen right? or they just weren't in a POV to see it?

1. what is your "theory" as to how the neat little HOLE punched out through the C ring etc? To me thats the only aspect that doesn't seem to
agree or fit/make sense fully with the evidence of no missle. the HOLE is the only piece of the puzzle that doesnt fit (no pun intended) in the no impact/no missle theory. Thats also not to say i don't believe pre timed explosives weren't or couldn't have been planted as well. But what explosives could have been PUNCHED that type of HOLE?
2. so In regards to the entire debate about flight paths... While i 100% agree the NOC/ONA is PROVEN, could not there have been a missle/drone launched from the FLY OVER plane NOC PATH at a certain point as it approached? That means in essence, BOTH the NOC and SOC path may potentially have some merit which would account for the IMPACT of the SOC and also then still validates NOC... so in a sense, BOTH are right if its plausible that the NOC plane had launched a missle prior to passing the CITGO?

Argument from incredulity.
Faulty logic does not refute evidence.
Please brush up on your critical thinking skills and let us know if you ever come across any independent verifiable evidence to refute the north side approach.
Thanks.

There was no missile nor did an aircraft impact the Pentagon.

Here is a small missile launch from an aircraft. Very visible. A larger missile launched from the decoy aircraft would have been even more visible. If it was launched back to the west at very low altitude over the golf course near the original official south flight path, why was there nobody in Virginia who saw the highly visible launch?
If it was launched Over the Naval Annex or past the Citgo; why was there nobody who saw the highly visible launch? Besides from that point, the damage path would have been from the wrong angle, and it is unlikely the missile could have armed in less than 2 seconds flying time. Also assuming the aircraft flew over the point of impact, the decoy aircraft and missile would have arrived at the same time, destroying the aircraft.

2. you're saying that no one saw or would have seen this "launch"... that assumes A) it came from the fly over NOC plane and B) that it couldn't have come from another UAV or plane in the area and C) that the NOC plane couldn't have launched long before it approached citgo.
No one would have been looking at this AREA of launch until it came near the CITGO.
right?
