Update on research showing a sophisticated USAF E-4B over the White House/Pentagon area on 9/11

The Journal of 9/11 Studies has published a brief but important letter: Update on Why Did the World’s Most Advanced Electronics Warfare Plane Circle Over The White House on 9/11? By Mark H. Gaffney

In his Letter, Mark Gaffney notes "CNN has now confirmed the basic facts regarding the USAF E-4B fly over of the White House on 9/11." Furthermore, Mark has updated his detailed paper on this subject, which appears in the July volume of the Journal of 9/11 Studies. His full letter is below.

Mark's research raises compelling questions IMO regarding the presence of this sophisticated USAF electronics jet over the White House/Pentagon area about the time the Pentagon was hit. Of course, the military denies its presence -- but with the clear and substantiated evidence gathered by Gaffney, this denial is tantamount to cover-up. I think this is a very important line of inquiry... one which should be pursued by Congress/other investigations; it would no doubt be important (for example) in an impeachment proceeding.
Reading of Mark's updated paper is also highly recommended, here: http://journalof911studies.com/volume/200704/Gaffney_911Mystery%20Plane.pdf

Note that there are now 38 Articles and 49 Letters in the Journal of 9/11 Studies, with more papers now in the peer-review screening process.

Marks Letter:
Dear Editor:

It will interest your readers that CNN has now confirmed the basic facts regarding the USAF E-4B fly over of the White House on 9/11. On September 12, 2007 CNN finally aired some video footage of the event captured by one of its own reporters, evidence which had been gathering dust in the CNN archive for nearly six years. It appears that we prodded CNN into action. Chalk up a small victory for 9/11 truth.

Of course, the US military continues to deny that any such plane was in the sky. Obviously our work is unfinished.

The CNN footage is stunning, and is definitely worth a look. Here is a link for the benefit of your readers:

Readers are also advised that because this story has evolved, an updated version of my original paper has just been posted. The latest draft includes new evidence and a deeper analysis.

Sincerely for 9/11 truth,

Mark H. Gaffney

Thanks

Excellent paper. Glad to see this work being done, sincere and careful investigative work.

The paper has a strong and steady reporting of much redundant data supporting the findings, exposes the official responses denying it and in contrast to the stark admissions by other sources, and it seems, never delves into the divisive "what hit the Pentagon" issue at all.

Use this as a model for whatever you work on -- avoid utter speculation and stay focused on the most powerful evidence that moves you. That's what this does. And he doesn't try to do it all alone. I think most of us do not know how to investigate properly or when we do, we don't understand the scientific method in order to evaluate it. This work shows that, eventually, careful work pays off. If you don't know how to investigate or how to evaluate, team up with someone who does. They are out there.

Among others, some key excerpts:

"Let us remember, by this time the World Trade Center was in
flames. Hundreds of people had already perished. Multiple hijackings were
known to be in progress. The only planes that should have been in the sky
over Washington were fighters for the purpose of protecting the nation’s
capital. Yet, as we know, Washington lay completely undefended. . . .
But what about the mysterious plane that circled over the White House?
The fact that it penetrated to the very core of P-56 raises obvious questions
that the 9/11 Commission should have investigated. Yet, incredibly, the panel
never broached the issue. The 9/11 Commission Report makes no mention of the
white plane, not even a passing remark in a footnote. Nor does it mention the
news reports cited above. The question that Americans should be asking is:
Why not?"

And:

"The story in Newsweek does not mention when the E-4B was first seen,
but it suggests that the white plane appeared before the Pentagon crash.
This chronology is supported by other accounts, including a news report
that aired in the UK."

Yes good article.

A lot of important details about the war games and great information but I wonder why the elaborate
Anderson Cooper CNN piece about the E4B that was broadcast in Sept. this year wasn't mentioned?

The fact that they just came out with that and heavily associated this story with "conspiracy theorists" and even quoted someone from here on 911blogger is quite notable.

They even trotted out Lee Hamilton to tell us how ridiculous we are to question the E4B or that 9/11 was an inside job!

Clearly a deliberate effort to "pre-bunk" any investigation into this important story and most certainly inspired by the research of Pinnacle.

Here is the deal........we will NEVER get anything that will break this case via FOIA or any official investigation.

But this information is not a dead end.....it is a key piece of the puzzle.

Of course they will stonewall and refuse to give you proof that 9/11 was an inside job or any details about the true purpose of this plane.

And you won't get the truth from Anderson Cooper either!

Here is the most important part of this paper (bold added by me):

The story in Newsweek does not mention when the E-4B was first seen,
but it suggests that the white plane appeared before the Pentagon crash.
This chronology is supported by other accounts, including a news report
that aired in the UK. Two days after the attack, Mark Easton, anchor of
Channel 4 News in England, reported that “just before the crash a civilian
plane was filmed over the city apparently banking hard and there were reports
of a military plane circling the US Capitol. Moments later, the Department
of Defense was hit.” In a separate story, CNN reported that US
Army Brig. General Cloyed Vaughn watched a commercial-size plane circle
over Georgetown a few minutes before the Pentagon strike. At the time
Vaughn was driving in his car on Interstate 395, making his morning commute
to the Pentagon. In Gen. Vaughn’s own words: “There wasn’t anything
in the air, except for one airplane, and it looked like it was loitering
over Georgetown, in a high left-handed bank.” As the CNN story mentions,
Georgetown is a part of the District of Columbia and thus, it lies within the
prohibited zone. Commercial planes arriving and departing from nearby
Ronald Reagan follow the nearby Potomac River, and avoid flying over
Georgetown. These accounts do not contradict other eyewitnesses who
saw the white plane later, since people in different parts of Washington may
have seen it at different times
. Even so, the above accounts are extremely
damaging to the official 9/11 narrative.
"

Or maybe they do contradict them.

Perhaps the plane that Mark Eastman reported and that Vaughn was referring to was a completely different plane that looped around and flew tree top level over Arlington timed perfectly with the explosion at the Pentagon.

Perhaps it was the same plane that these people saw that ended up flying north of the citgo station and pulling up over the highway sign to the north of the bridge on route 27:

"Flight 77" The White Plane

Clearly the white plane these people report was not the E4B.

This reveals a very important reason why the perps would want a bunch of people to see a very obvious white but ultimately "friendly" jet to be "circling" the no fly zones around the time of the attack.

The data is coming together fast and furious.

Thanks to Pinnacle for inspiring CNN to ultimately admit to many details about the E4B but never forget.......they only reveal details that they WANT you to know so WE must seek out new data on our own.

The E4B was NOT the only white plane in the sky around the time of the attack.

Don't fall for their clearly imperative cover story.

Agreed.

"Clearly the white plane these people report was not the E4B"

To use a E-4B like that would be a waste of resources. An E-4B is a helluva machine, the "doomsday plane". There are 4 of them I believe.

And I agree that this could be a very important piece of the puzzle. It would be very desirable to identify the plane and its crew and call them into an independent investigation.

"The fact that they just

"The fact that they just came out with that and heavily associated this story with "conspiracy theorists" and even quoted someone from here on 911blogger is quite notable.

Clearly a deliberate effort to "pre-bunk" any investigation into this important story..."

Yes, CNN's out-of-the-blue "outing" of the E4B is extremely odd. There is the unmistakable whiff of "limited hangout" about it.

Doomsday planes were used in COG exercises

Also worth noting is that the Doomsday planes played an integral role in the "continuity of government " (COG) exercises with which Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were much involved during the 1980s. Check out the following entry from the Complete 9/11 Timeline:
