Why don't you quote them and make your point?




Todd Lewis :

"... heading east at a high rate of speed. This or another controller said we need to call National Approach and warn them. This was done immediately over the handoff line. The target went just south of the White House then turned southeast..."


William T. Howell :

''I continued to watch the target move eastbound and then turned southbound.''


James E. Walsh :

"... who was working the target 2 miles east of AML. The target proceeded to a point 1 mile west of Chrystal City and turned southwest to a point 5 miles northeast of DAA."


Roseanne McConnell :

"... and saw it west of the White House. It was primary only and it appeared to be traveling at a very high rate of speed. It then started a right turn and came back towards DCA and the White House."


Robert J. Brickley Jr. :

"... moving eastbound at a high rate of speed. I advised the OS (other controllers were doing the same). The aircraft proceeded to a point approximately 8 miles southwest of P-56, made a right 360 degree turn..."


Robert Devery :

"Then, the aircraft (target) turned south to parallel the North final to DCA as though it was entering a west downwind for R((Runway)) 1 at DCA."


Robert Utley :

"... heading eastbound, when the target was about 1 mile west of DCA it made a right turn heading southwestbound."



Every controller that states which direction Flight 77 turned, after approaching from the east, says that it made a right hand turn or a turn towards the south. This is completely irreconcilable with CIT's GOFER06/Decoy Jet Interaction Loop.

O'Brien says that the aircraft was heading northbound when he first spotted it, how can this be possible if the decoy jet turned right?
