What???? It doesn't look like anything. It's very small. No one
anywhere (except you!) said it looks like anything but a small white
blur.

Most witnesses saw NO 757 hit the
Pentagon, describing a missile or small plane instead.

Easily explained. While watching a spot on the track at the last Indy 500 I
attended--about 20 years ago--I was impressed with the fact that when cars
entered and exited my field of view, I could not discern any features of the
vehicle other than a very brief, colorful blur. Those cars were doing
around 225mph at that point.

Now take an airliner, seen from a distance which might make it appear about
the same size relative to the observer as the cars I watched, but increase
the speed to double that number: 550mph. It's not possible to see the
airliner beyond a similar, if faster, blur if one is gazing straight ahead.
Eyewitnesses, unless they watched the airliner descend from the sky and
proceed into the building, would not be able to discern what they'd just
seen.
