For anyone who missed it, this shadow was found in the Citgo security video, on camera 4, which was pointing south. In addition to NOT showing Robert Turcios, who was there as proven by his testimony, saw it fly north of him and pull up before hitting the Pentagon or whatever it did in that explosion (or so we hear). So the video doesn't show him there at all, which is clearly a problem for the video in some eyes. The other problem along those lines is that what does show is a shadow - actually two it seems - on the road south of his stated position, which indicates an airborne object south of that. Here's the camera view with the shadow - upper right, two dark spots. Low-res. This is the best it gets here. Here's the video segment analyzed (link). Quick analysis based on basic questions: Where is this 'shadow' and how big is it? Is that 757 size? Outline to scale. Blue arrow here indicates official flight path. 757 fuselage/left engine shadow to scale on a satellite map, perspective, camera field, surface topography and canopy simulated. It seems a decent fit except the missing nosecone. Hinterparts actually disappeared on their own when laid over a road and median sampled from satellite photos and then simulated the camera's saturation. So the median is a likely reason nothing but the engine and fuselage appear. Where would that put the plane? That's a light question - at 9:38 am on 9/11, the azimuth (lateral sun angle - compass position to sun) was 113 degrees, and the altitude (vertical angle) was 32 degrees. Therefore, the plane would have been roughly here (where azimuth angle, from the shadow, intersects the official path). Sun altitude gives us a plane altitude of about 115 feet above the shadow, so roughly that level above the ground. Wow! When does this shadow appear? It appears for one frame of a 3-frame-per-second video. That's it. This frame happens 2.167 seconds before the first light effects on the building, which therefore seem to be from the impact fireball. The distance from shadow-casting position to impact point is 1560 feet. With something like 130 feet descended as well, I’ve used a total distance of 1,690 feet. Speed – 530 mi/hr = 777.3 ft/sec 1690ft / 777.3 ft/sec = 2.174 seconds Compare this to the 2.167 seconds between the shadow’s appearance in the video and the first light effects on the building. Working the other way back, we get 1690 / x = 2.167 -- x = 779.88 ft/sec = 531.7 mi/hr Compare this to the ‘official speed’ of 530 mph. That's what the video shows, a perfect fit for Flight 77's speed, altitude, approach, impact... and it's on video, the same one that proves Lagasse was there to see the plane entirely on the other end of the station. Is the video valid evidence? That's another story. Was it manipulated to insert this shadow? This is the only other logical explanation. All I can show is what it shows, and that's either darn good evidence for the official story or a lie that was done right.
