That mysterious C-130 on 9/11
was from the 133rd Airlift Wing of the Minnesota Air National Guard, piloted by Lt Col Steve O'Brien. Took off from Anddrews AFB in Maryland and saw AA Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.

"When I first saw the aircraft it was moving fast, and that's when air traffic control asked, 'Do you see an airplane? Can you tell me what kind it is?' and then asked us to follow it, Never in 20 years of flying had I been asked to follow a comercial airliner."

A few minutes later..."We saw a fireball on the ground from jet fuel exploding and then saw the sihouette of the Pentagon through the haze of smoke," said O'Brien.

The crew was then advised to continue their orignial mission and return to Minnesota.

Minutes later, while over Pennsylvaia, ATC contacted O'Brien and asked if he could spot another aircraft, Flight 93. After lookin in all directons from the C-130's windows, smoke was detected from an open field to the left of the plane. "I thought the smoke was from a farmer burning or a junk yard," said O'Brien. "I was trying to be optimistic. The last thing anybody wants is to witness two commercial airliners crashing in the same day."

O'Brien reported the position of the smoke to the air traffic controlers and then was directed to land at the nearest airport, Youngstown ARS, Ohio.

1. Well everything is in place
They will probably show Flight 77 smashing into the Pentagon to the public on Sep 11

Glenn Beck and Amy Goodman will have the Loose Change Boys on that day

3. Part of many sinister plots.

Perhaps, it fired off two missiles at the Pentagon and flew over, but if it was being covered by a holographic projection from the C130 that was near by, then who really knows. It is all speculation right now.

The possibility is that United Flight 93 crashed as a result of being attacked by a high-powered microwave weapon, most likely fired from the C-130 aircraft acknowledged by the Department of Defense to be present that morning.

4. Most people have no clue
that there was a C130 chasing both Flight 77 and Flight 93. Pretty amazing crew to be able to find two planes that no one else seems to have been able to find. Gee, what a coincidence.

Yet, according to the 9-11 myth, no 'fighters' were scrambled, so it is assume that no other planes were scrambled either, no less actually caught up with two of the flights.

5. Yes it certainly was a coincidence
F16s and F15s were scrambled, don't know about any myth about that. O'Brien just happened to be in the area to see the hit on the Pentagon. His flight path took him into PA, and was diverted by ATC. He didn't see Flight 93, just the smoke from the crash site.

6. quite an amazing coincidence considering officially NORAD never found
flight 77 and flight 93.

Why do you maintain it is a coincidence?

8. From Chapter One of the 911 Commission Report:
 
Reagan National controllers then vectored an unarmed National Guard C130H cargo aircraft, which had just taken off en route to Minnesota, to identify and follow the suspicious aircraft. The C-130H pilot spotted it, identified it as a Boeing 757, attempted to follow its path, and at 9:38, seconds after impact, reported to the control tower: "looks like that aircraft crashed into the Pentagon sir."147

   <- snip ->

The aircraft that spotted the "black smoke" was the same unarmed Air National Guard cargo plane that had seen American 77 crash into the Pentagon 27 minutes earlier. It had resumed its flight to Minnesota and saw the smoke from the crash of United 93, less than two minutes after the plane went down. At 10:17, the Command Center advised headquarters of its conclusion that United 93 had indeed crashed.170
