The FEMA photographs that show the MYSTERY turbine engine disc could answer the 911 Pentagon question: What kind of aircraft hit the Pentagon?
The responses on RMN regarding the Pentagon photo are very valuable in that they help to clarify what the object in the photo is - and what it is NOT. This is logical deductive problem solving at its best.
As Tiggercat says: "Clearly, the part in the picture is larger is about 24 inches in diameter. It also appears to have a nosepiece like device on its front. This probably houses bearings, front oil sump and perhaps an alternator or starter...In my opinion, this fan did not come from a cruise missile engine."
Kyle Hence from Unanswered Questions asks: "How did the photo come into the public domain? Did FEMA publicly issue a series of photos from the site or was it leaked by someone inside the investigation or FEMA?"
Bollyn respnds: The official FEMA photograph was taken on September 13, 2001 and is posted on the FEMA website in its archive of photos from the Pentagon.
The photographs show what appears to be a part of a turbofan jet engine. The photos were taken by Jocelyn Augustino, a photographer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), at the Pentagon crash site.
The photo ID numbers are 4414 and 4415 and can be seen on-line at (high resolution downloads available):

The round piece appears to be less than 3 feet in diameter and is propped up against what appears to be part of the engine housing and thick pieces of insulating material.
A Boeing 757 has two large engines, nearly 9 feet in diameter and 12 feet in length. According to Mark Sullivan, the engines on American Airlines 757-200s are made by Rolls Royce.
Therefore, if this is a piece of a AA 757-200 engine then it must come from an engine Model RB211-535.
These engines are made in Great Britain, according to John Brown of Rolls Royce, Indianapolis (where Global Hawk engines are hand-made.)
NO ONE who has seen the photo has even suggested that this 3-foot turbine disc could have come from a Rolls Royce RB211-535 engine.
Clearly this photo has the potential to DISPROVE - or PROVE - the government's version of what happened at the Pentagon, i.e. that a AA 757-200 smashed into the Pentagon. The TRUTH of the government's claim RESTS on this photo and the evidence it provides.
This is a obviously a matter of the UTMOST urgency and importance.
It NOW appears that the piece of evidence seen in the FEMA photos DOES NOT support that version of events, and that it DOES NOT come from a 757-200 jet engine.
NOT FROM HONEYWELL APU
According to sources at Honeywell, there is "NO WAY" the turbine disc in the FEMA photos comes from an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) in the tail of a 757-200. Honeywell builds these units.
According to a Honeywell expert who cannot be named but spoke with Christopher Bollyn of American Free Press: "That disc - that turbine disc - there is NO WAY in the world that came out of an APU."
GLOBAL HAWK?
If, however, it can be shown that this piece comes from another engine model, for example a Rolls Royce AE3007H (used to power the Global Hawk), then we must conclude that the government version is FALSE.
If the turbine disc in the photo can be matched with the Rolls Royce AE3007 series engine, then it would PROVE that something like a Global Hawk, painted to resemble a small American Airlines commuter jet hit the Pentagon, perhaps laden with high explosives or weaponized with a Hellfire missile, which would explain the high energy explosion seen in the famous video footage from the Pentagon camera.
This turbine disc seen in the FEMA photos IS of the same size and appearance as the front disc of a Global Hawk engine. (See Global Hawk cutaway image below and large image of Rolls Royce Global Hawk Engine on clickable text)
