I decided to do a little investigating myself. Using math and logic we can get a rough idea of what this object is.
Our known variables are:
Pentagon height is exactly 77feet 3.5inches tall or 77.29 feet
A Boeing 757 fuselage is approximately 14feet 2inches in height or 14.14 feet
Knowing these two things we can assume that 14.14/77.29 = .1829 meaning the Boeing 757 should be 18.29% of the height of the Pentagon.
Now we need to look at the two frames of video in question:
I took both frames and expanded them on my computer so they were both the same size, I just needed to expand them to see better. I then measured the height of the white tubular object. It was exactly 2mm on my screen and then I measured the height of the pentagon at the point where the impact occurred it was 15mm. We can assume that the location of the object in frame one is the very close to the same distance from the camera as the distance from the impact point of the pentagon is from the camera.
So 2/15 = 0.133 or 13.3% the height of the Pentagon.
Well this does not match the 18.29% from above which would be a 757.
So what is 13.3%? We take the height of the Pentagon 77.29 * 0.133 = 10.28 feet.
That is a substantial height difference what could the object be?
Well no missile is 10 feet thick so that?s not right.
Perhaps a leer jet? That would explain the smaller engine components found at the site reportedly.
Or as it has been suggested before that an A3 Sky warrior was the culprit so let?s see the size of such a craft is.
Well I took a photo of an A3 I found on Google image

That one.
Since we know that the A3 is 22.8feet tall from tip of the tail down we can calculate the height of the fuselage. So again I measured the height from tail down as 20mm and height of fuselage as 9mm using a little cross multiplying we come up with the fact that the fuselage was 10.26feet high.
Well that is almost exactly what I had estimated (10.28feet) the white object to be.
These planes also use jet fuel which would of course burn but not for long as in the video the impact site almost turned immediately to black smoke after the impact. Perhaps if the fighter was carrying some weapons on board it would have helped cause more damage.
But that?s just analysis of the video
Thanks for listening.
