The Jet Fuel Spray and Missile Exhaust (or Pipe)


Let me start with the quickest one first.  Since the entire LetsRoll pod/pipe theory has fallen apart at this point, the missile exhaust (or Pipe) becomes easy to explain, and when taking a closer look at the pictures, it makes pretty good sense, I think.

Turn your brightness WAY UP to see the details!

LetsRoll Theory

Reality


The missile exhaust is simply the sun reflecting off of the fuselage as it curves around.  It's no secret that when an object, the sun and the camera are at just the right angle, that you will get that ultra brilliant reflection that we see here.  But why does the reflection stop so abruptly at both the front and the rear?   Simple.  Take note of the two small red dots that I placed in the picture above.  The fuselage begins to curve inward as it nears both the front and the rear of the jet.  In fact, if you look at a lot of a.net photos you will see that it starts the transition rather 'early'.  This means that as soon as the angle of the fuselage in relation to the sun begins to change, that the quality of the reflection will change as well.  That brilliant light will be reflected off at a different angle, away from the camera.   The two dots above are roughly where the fuselage begins to curve inward, hence the termination of the brilliant reflection.

Now please load this a.net picture: UA-Seven.   Look carefully at the two, white "spikes" protruding from the bottom of the fuselage, in the unpainted strip area.   This is what we are seeing in the UA175 photos.  We are seeing the sun reflecting off of these two items, which are nothing more than a different style of blade antenna that was discussed in the Refueling Boom Port section.

There is no jet fuel spraying "way down into the sky", as the LetsRoll team has told us.  The truth is much simpler than that.   This is one of those aspects where a couple of members of the LetsRoll team began to see the light when I pointed it out to them, and they took immediate heat from other members for even thinking of jumping ship.
