Jim Hoffman provided the best reasoned analysis of what hit the Pentagon I've seen in The Pentagon Attack: What the Physical Evidence Shows, which concludes:
As for the video in the OP, I stumbled across this version of it over a year ago, and the first thing that struck me is how vastly different the lighting is from all the indisputable images of the Pentagon shortly after the attack, looking more like early morning in the dead of winter rather than a sunny day in September. Then there is the point of impact, which is good bit further North in that video than center of the damaged area which can be elsewhere. Beyond that, the 2.35:1 aspect ratio is rarely used outside of professional films, which leads me to suspect it's footage ripped from a Hollywood movie with the vaguely missile-like blob and other touches to disguise its province simply edited in. Also, the pictures of the American Airlines branded cruse missiles, minus the American Airlines branding, can be seen here:
Quote:In this essay I asked what conclusions about the Pentagon attack were supported by physical evidence -- primarily post-crash photographs of the site. I found that, in every aspect I considered, this evidence comports with the crash of a Boeing 757. At the same time, the evidence does not conclusively prove that the aircraft was a 757, much less that it was Flight 77. However, that lack of conclusiveness should not be surprising given the systematic suppression of evidence by authorities.
