PENTAGON RESEARCH

I have no comprehensive theory of my own or any dramatic conclusions as to what happened at the Pentagon. The goal of this site is to present as many observations as possible for you to consider. My hope is that by having a research tool you will reach your own conclusions. If we think together like this then I believe there will eventually be a discovery at a level where something official can really be done.

Some of the observations here support the "official" story. I can only say I've been diligent and honest in my approach. Whatever I found is what I found. I considered both the official story and the alternative theories every step of the way. I believe if researchers quit arguing over red flags and straw men amongst each other then we can collectively discover what really happened. It may be very different than any one of the "camps" may believe happened. But by staying in our camp and wasting energy defending our personal beliefs we will only minimize our effect and our goal. Following is a summary of my thoughts.

I believe the volume of eyewitness reports indicates that an aircraft was seen heading toward the Pentagon even though they disagreed widely on what they saw.

The front of the Pentagon was obviously struck with explosive force.

There is a 757 and 59 people (I have subtracted the 5 hijackers) missing.

If it was Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon, I don't believe it was piloted by Hani Hanjour. All industry professionals clearly stated his piloting skills and English were so poor they believed he shouldn't even be licensed.

There are photos of aircraft debris outside and inside the Pentagon. There are no large aircraft structures that one would intuitively expect from an aircraft the size of a 757-200. Some of the debris can be specifically identified with a 757 aircraft. I personally believe the amount of debris exceeds what could be planted without detection.

I believe that the damage to the Pentagon is anomalous in many respects. There are violations of physics that need to be explained. It may be that there are explanations for these but in a total void of truthful information from our government we don't know what they are. Voids of this nature will be filled in by a culture of people hungry to know the facts. Some attempts to fill the void may at first be inaccurate, but after being challenged and reconsidered in an open community I believe understanding this is possible. I myself will persist in this direction.

I believe the "exit hole" was caused by secondary explosives.

There are direct contradictions and irreconcilable variants in the evidence made available. This forces researchers to make choices that always leave some other aspect of the evidence hard to accept or omitted altogether. This may be disinformation intended to deceive. Some series of events did occur to result in the collective body of physical and eyewitness data available. Persistence and logic are the only tools we have short of somebody coming forward and explaining what really happened. I believe the stakes are so high that we may have to wait for a "death bed" confession if the official story is not true.

I find it as hard to believe that a Cessna 172 unqualified hijacker could fly a 757 for the first time with military precision as I do aircraft override theories. The plane swap theory leaves me with 59 people (I have subtracted the 5 hijackers) missing but it explains why not one passenger seat is evident in the nearly 1500 photos I have inspected both inside and outside the Pentagon. I am forced to choose one. This type of dilemma is discouraging but it is what the current administration has seen fit to leave us with.

The "coincidence" of the aircraft striking the only blast-resistant portion of the Pentagon (that was due to be completed that week) when more destructive and militarily advantageous options were significantly quicker and easier to execute is a source of improbability that causes me to doubt the official story.

The fact that all four aircraft that day were collectively at 30% occupancy is indicative of something, but I don't know what. Operation Northwoods referred to an aircraft that, "would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases" that will later be taken to an "auxiliary field.....where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers". They go so far as to mention conducting, "funerals for mock-victims". I would like to see the passenger manifests of those four flights for the days prior to 9/11 to see if this was a normal situation. The FBI won't let that happen.

The fact that three out of the four aircraft including those piloted by experienced military pilots did not broadcast any emergency signal is suspicious. Flight 93 announced there was a bomb on board before shutting off its transponder.

The numerous war games and emergency drills being conducted by government agencies that day (some with exact parallels to what really happened) are coincidences beyond reason.

The loss of cargo and U.S. Mail was never mentioned by anyone, most notably the U.S. Postal Service. I would like to see the cargo manifest for each of those four aircraft on 9/11. That could have been millions of dollars in losses figuring that each aircraft had 1670 cubic feet of cargo space and regularly transported U.S. mail. The FBI won't let us see that information either.

The Pentagon should release all video of the event and allow independent verification of its authenticity. We have seen video of other major events that day and even videos of the 1993 WTC bombing, Madrid bombing and London bombings. The two videos the Department of Justice has released do not show anything that is identifiable as a 757. Why is the rest of the Pentagon video so secret?

A media contingent should be taken on a tour to the location where the Flight 77 wreckage is stored and allowed to verify the serial numbers of the pieces. They almost entirely reconstructed TWA 800 and even did videos to explain that event for the public. Why is Flight 77 so different?

If the government just did these simple "right-to-know" actions for American citizens, then in a 10 minute news broadcast our questions could be answered in regards to what happened at the Pentagon. But that would mean the public focus would shift to other elements of 9/11 and maybe that's what they don't want. But what would they want to hide?
