Observation
NTSB reconstructed a continuous radar/path track of AA77 from takeoff to the Pentagon.
Interpretation
Strongly supports aircraft-into-Pentagon. Weakens H014 unless the track itself is shown to be fabricated — a claim not evidenced in this corpus.
Source text
OBSERVATION: NTSB path products, Dulles tower sighting of a fast-moving aircraft, and damaged light poles along the approach are independent of Pentagon CCTV quality. CIT and related claims (EVD-148) deny a 757 hit the building. They have not produced an alternative radar track accepted by NTSB.
Hypothesis linkage
NTSB continuous path.
