ANOTHER CAMERA ANGLE           SHOWING THE CURIOUS OBJECT

The Jersey View

Note the slightly triangular shadowy object the arrows point to; that's the streaking object. The picture is unaltered - perhaps the original was overexposed because the camera was aimed to the East facing the 9:00 AM morning sun. We can see that the second jet hasn't struck the tower yet, so the questions are, when was this picture taken and does the object seen here fit in the sequence of pics we've already seen? To answer: Regardless of whether one stands to the East or West of the towers, the crest of the billowing plume of smoke would look the same to viewers on both sides, although mirror images of each other. The Fox News video was shot from the other side of the Towers, facing the West with sun behind the camera, as was the picture below, which appears to have been taken in Brooklyn or Queens.

I horizontally flipped the Jersey View photo so that the smoke is billowing in the same direction as the Brooklyn View. I then pasted the flipped Jersey View on top of the Brooklyn View to see if they matched.  They matched.

The Brooklyn View with the flipped New Jersey View inserted.

The arrows are there to simply point out the obvious. The blue arrow points to the object and the green arrow points to two big "puffs" of smoke that, unlike the other puffs, are tilting toward the towers. The clouds in the Jersey View are backlit so they appear to be somewhat thinner than the corresponding puffs in the Brooklyn View. The Jersey View angle also brings the perspective factor slightly into play; like telephone poles appearing smaller as they disappear in the distance. Since the explosion picture took place a few seconds later than the object picture, the smoke clouds have degraded a little bit, but they still tilt toward the towers. Also, the WABC pic is from a video showing the second jet hitting the tower. In the image below, notice the white patch of smoke to the right of the antenna can also be seen in the WABC object pic.

There really isn't any question that the smoke plumes in the Brooklyn and Jersey pictures match; therefore the WABC object picture was taken mere seconds before the second jet slammed into the South Tower.

Note there's no aircraft such as a helicopter in the Brooklyn View picture. If the object were a helicopter if would be visible since the Brooklyn pic was taken only second or two after the WABC pic. Also notice that the object appears to be heading in a downward angle that matches exactly the trajectory of the object as seen in the Foxnews video.

In this pic, there's a helicopter in the upper left corner (probably the WABC chopper) heading toward the WTC. The close-up shot of that helicopter reveals  the "bits of fuzz" that encircle moving objects in photos. So, we know that the object above the smoke streaming from the North Tower was a moving object with mass - not smoke - because it too is surrounded by "bits of fuzz." The WABC object is not another helicopter because clear photos from other angles show there was no aircraft close to the tower.

In this close-up view of the WABC object, notice the "bits of fuzz" surrounding the streaking object, but there is no "fuzz" like that around the smoke or the antenna on tower 1. The extreme close-up view below has been slightly darkened for clarity.

The yellow dots in the large lower picture correspond to the object's position as seen in the four sequential upper pictures. The right half of the large picture is the Washington Post pic (3) which wasn't wide enough to place the position of the object as seen in Image 1 --so I doubled the paper size and painted the left half.
