ABC Flight 77 To The White House ATC DANIELLE O'BRIEN

R.I.P. Bob :text-green-game-over:

I think this blip that O'Brien tracked might be the same plane that was tracking toward the White House when Cheney's Secret Service detail went to his office to move him to the PEOC at around 9:35. Although, Reagan National is the facility that reported a fast-moving primary target to the Secret Service (en route centers & TRACON can overlap radar coverage with other facilities). I am quite familiar with Cheney's movements on the morning of 9/11 (as well as Richard Clarke's), and I must say that Mineta's description of the plane's flight path isn't helpful (esp. since he doesn't mention the famous loop). I think you could do away with Mineta's testimony entirely actually, since it threw a wrench into the matter IMO. These reports from O'Brien and Scoggins ("6 miles SE of the White House") refer to (I would guess) the same plane, but they refer to different moments in its flight path. Here's Oystein (a JREF user, I'm a Truther but I find some of their information useful) on the FOIA'd White House photos, one of which shows VP Cheney in his office at 9:35: "The radar screen of Reagan Natl. Airport has been recorded and released many years ago. It shows AA77 as an unidentified primary target (meaning: It was not tagged and controlled by air traffic controllers, only a dot on the screen) flying in from the west at 9:28. Only as it is approx. 10 miles out do the controllers become aware of it; they react quickly, ask another pilot nearby to visually identify it, and call the Secret Service at the White House. This was done at 9:33. At 9:35:47 radar time, a controller attaches a label "S" to the dot that represents AA77. The Secret Service office in the Eisenhower Executive building next to the White House can see this radar screen, too. They now know which plane is the rogue plane and can follow it on the screen. At the time the label is attached, AA77 has done about half the loop and is actually heading away from DC. It takes two or three dozen seconds from there to realize that it wasn't turning, but was circling back towards DC. It seems entirely plausible that the SS decided during the 9:36 minute that indeed AA77 was a danger to the government institutions, and decided to evacuate everyone immediately. The photo set, showing Cheney in his office for the last time some time between 9:36:43 and 9:37:17 on the ABC clock on TV fits the radar timeline and the story of the Cheney evacuation very well." Of course, AA 77 went off radar somewhere over Kentucky after 8:56, and there's no evidence that the blip moving eastward for 30 minutes corresponds to a real plane, nor is there evidence that the radar blip tracked by Indy Center, Dulles TRACON and Reagan Natl. was the original American 77, as explained by Dennis Cimino and CIT. Anyway, this is not to doubt O'Brien's testimony, I think it's very valid. I think though that the plane tracking toward the White House (as mentioned by Cheney) could be this decoy jet, and what Cheney mentioned in passing has been overlooked due to Mineta's testimony. One tidbit I found interesting is that every piece of data on the decoy jet's flight path refers to a loop. The only question is where this loop was positioned. CIT partially contradicts the RADES 84 data, which could very well be manipulated. But there /is/ a loop: it's simply within D.C. east of the Potamac.
