As I pointed out, it was a USAF AGM 86D cruise missile as proved by the part number match on the turbine wheel that was found at the site. If I could tell you who launched it I could tell you who was responsible for a large part of 9-11. Since it was a USAF missile, I would presume it was military originated and probably from a military site. Perhaps it was tracked on radar but never reported. I don't know but you'll have to let logic play a role. People in the military still follow orders from on high and since whoever launched it had to program its destination, I don't imagine they are coming forward to admit anything.

The AGM-86B air-launched cruise missiles and AGM-86C/D conventional air-launched cruise missiles were developed to increase the effectiveness of B-52H bombers.
The AGM 86D was designed and engineered to penetrate deeply buried targets.
The AGM 86D was developed to maneuver and dive onto its target in a near vertical orientation. (The AGM 86D is not aerodynamically configured for horizontal target penetrations.)
The AGM 86D is fitted with a penetrating warhead (two forward shaped charges) and a 3000 pound blast fragmentation primary warhead.
Production of the AGM 86D began in the 3rd quarter of the year 2000.
The first flight test of an AGM 86D was conducted in
November 2001 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. It was launched from a B52.
In summary. Conspiracy theorists have totally ignored many critical factors in their attempts to identify the engine components found inside the Pentagon.
1) the AGM 86D was not available for operational deployment until November, 2001.
2) the AGM 86D must be air-launched from a B52. The B52 is not a stealth bomber. There is no radio or radar data showing a primary radar target anywhere over the continental United States that is consistent with the flight of a B52 on a launch mission. Nor is there any radar data consistent with the launch and flight of an AGM 86D terminating at the Pentagon.
3) had an AGM 86D been configured for a low level horizontal strike into the Pentagon, the missile's unitary 1200 pound penetrator charge would have blown open the walls through which the 3000 pound primary warhead would have entered the building and exploded at some distance within. Such an explosion never occurred, but even if it had, it would have done a hell of lot more internal damage to the building, probably killed a lot more people, and would have destroyed completely the missile's single engine.
4) the AGM 86D has a wing span of 12 feet, is 20 feet in length, 2.5 feet in diameter, and weighs 2.2 tons. This size and weight are not consistent with the external and internal damage sustained by the Pentagon. By comparison, a Boeing 757-200 has a wing span of 124 feet, is 154 feet in length, and has a maximum take-off weight of 127 tons. This size and weight is consistent with the measured damage to the Pentagon.
5) The AGM 86D power plant is a Williams Research Corp. F-107-WR-10 turbofan engine.
6) the engines installed on Boeing 757-200. registration #N644AA, designated Flight 77 were Rolls Royce RB211-535E4B triple-shaft turbofans. The engine components found inside the Pentagon were identified as those of this engine. A complete analysis of these components can be studied
HERE.
7) The Flight Data Recorder installed on Boeing 757-200, registration # N644AA, designated Flight 77 was recovered from the rubble inside the Pentagon.
The data on this FDR was analyzed thoroughly. The resulting
AA77 Flight Path Study was based on data recorded on this FDR as well as radar data obtained from FAA ARTC centers, approach control at Washington Dulles airport, and the USAF 84th Radar Evaluation Squadron.
Flight AA77 on 9/11: New FDR Analysis Supports the Official Flight Path Leading to Impact with the PentagonNOTE: Various groups of 9/11 conspiracy theorists are not in agreement on what hit the Pentagon. Some say it was a Douglas A-3 Skywarrior or a Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk--probably configured as an unmanned drone. In every aspect of their claims, the entire 9/11 conspiracy movement is loaded with such inconsistencies and contradictions. They just can't seem to get everybody on the same page.
