The reporter, just like everybody who was watching, was focussed on the fire. Why would she be checking a horizon - other than the most rudimentary of scans - when WTC was her point of interest? Owing to distance, the plane first appears as a speck. Owing to the fact, during the final seconds of its flight, it was hidden by a building, it couldn't be seen from her point of vantage.
The colour of the plane? That's as much a source of contradiction as the pod slung beneath it. Both aircraft were quite real - just as real as the twin towers. Two planes went boom. Two buildings fell under mysterious curcumstances. Three thousand innocent lives were lost - for who's purpose?
Somewhere in between Uncle Sam's cries of foul and the ravings of the science fiction crowd lays the truth. The broader the spectrum, the harder it will be to discover. One thing is certain. We all heard a lot of deception.
