In a RMN post "IS THIS PART OF A BOEING 757 OR A GLOBAL HAWK?" dated Sept. 14, an official FEMA photograph was posted from the Pentagon "crash site" showing what appears to be a 3-foot (diameter) disc from a turbofan jet engine.
This mystery photo COULD easily answer the nagging questions about WHAT hit the Pentagon, but for some reason NOBODY wants to identify the part.

American Free Press, an independent weekly paper based on Capitol Hill, printed the photograph in September alongside a photo of a U.S. Air Force Global Hawk, and asked why this seemingly crucial piece of evidence had not been identified, either to bolster the government's version that a Boeing 757-200 had smashed into the Pentagon - or to disprove it.
Within hours, a response came from a certain "Joe Vialls" who claimed that the piece looked like it came from a Boeing 757 Jet APU. Vialls information appears to have been DIS-INFORMATION.
Vialls did not identify what part of a APU the disc might have been, NOR did he claim that it came from a 757-200 turbofan jet.
It is important to note that Vialls does not say that the turbine disc came from a 78-inch diameter 757-200 turbofan engine.
No, he says, it looks like it comes from the Auxialiary Power Unit in the plane's tail section.
HONEYWELL EXPERTS DISMISS VIALLS' THEORY
APU experts from Honeywell, however, have categorically dismissed Vialls notion that the disc in the photo comes from a Honeywell APU - as RUBBISH.
(APU stands for "Auxiliary Power Unit" and the unit Vialls pointed to was the Honeywell GTCP331-200 used on Boeing 757-200s)
Vialls wrote: "all Boeing 757 aircraft also have a large jet-engined auxiliary power unit mounted in the tail, used to drive cooling and other systems while on the ground during main engine start etc.
"Flight 77 was fitted with a Honeywell GTCP331-200 APU, which is just about dead right for the picture posted by Christopher Bollyn," Vialls wrote.
VIALLS IS DEAD WRONG
According to Honeywell APU experts, Vialls is dead wrong.
Two very similar letters came to American Free Press echoing Vialls opinion, however, neither identified what part of a GTCP331-200 APU the 3-foot disc could have been.
The letters actually sounded like they came from the same source. None of the letters provided any technical information about the piece or the APU it was supposedly from.
American Free Press then contacted experts at Honeywell to discuss the photo.
After viewing the FEMA Pentagon photo, a Honeywell company spokesperson told AFP that lawyers had provided the following statement: "We don't comment on ongoing investigations."
However, an expert from Honeywell, speaking off the record told AFP: "There's no way that's [the disc in the photo] an APU wheel."
American Free Press examined several on-line images and diagrams of APUs to see if the disc could have come from an APU, but was unable to see any part of an APU that resembles in any way the disc in the Pentagon photo.
AFP then turned to other Honeywell employees knowledgable about the APU found in Boeing 757-200s.
After viewing the photo from the Pentagon, an un-named Honeywell employee told AFP: "That disc - that turbine disc - there's no way in the world that came out of an APU."
AFP also contacted Pratt & Whitney to ask if the disc could have come from one of their engines. Company spokesman Mark Sullivan told AFP: "If it was an American Airlines 757, it would have been a Rolls Royce engine."
John W. Brown from Rolls Royce told AFP earlier, “It is not a part from any Rolls Royce engine that I’m familiar with, and certainly not the AE3007H made here in Indy.”
When AFP told Brown that, if the government version is correct, it MUST be a piece of a Rolls Royce engine, he balked. He asked who at Pratt & Whitney had provided the information.
Asked if the disc in the photo was a piece of a Rolls Royce RB211-535 (the turbofan engine for the Boeing 757-200) or from the AE3007 series, which power the GLOBAL HAWK and the Cessna Citation, Brown said he could not answer.
The RB211-535 is produced in England and the GLOBAL HAWK's AE3007H engine is hand-made in Indianapolis, Indiana.
AFP asked Brown, who works at the Indiana facility, if he was personally familiar with the parts of an AE3007H: "No. I don't build the engines," Brown said. "I am a spokesman for the company. I speak for the company."
American Free Press had earlier contacted the U.S. Air Force, American Airlines, Rolls Royce, and others to ask for help identifying the part, however, no one is willing to discuss the photographs.
IT MUST BE ROLLS ROYCE
The logical conclusion is: If the government version is true, that an American Airlines 757-200 hit the Pentagon, THEN the object in the photo must be a piece of a Rolls Royce RB211-535 turbofan engine.
If it cannot be proven to be a piece of a RB211-535 engine, then it is most likely from another turbofan engine.
If it is NOT from a RB211-535, then perhaps it is from a Rolls Royce AE3007 engine of the type used by the GLOBAL HAWK. If it is, then an aircraft of this type most probably hit the Pentagon.
In any case, identifying the small turbine disc in the FEMA photo is CLEARLY of the HIGHEST importance to understanding WHAT hit the Pentagon. The FEMA photo is the best evidence to obtaining that understanding.
