The animated GIF above was my first glimpse at a video clip from the 9/11 attacks in which many people believe they see a UFO or some sort of paranormal activity.

This particular video in question was shot as the second plane impacted Tower 2 (the South Tower). As the plane strikes the tower a dark form streaks across the field of view. While I cannot prove what this object is, I firmly believe that it is simply a bird passing between the videographer and the towers. I think any rational person reviewing the evidence provided here will come to the same conclusion.

One problem I encountered when I first pursued this was that many who are circulating this clip never show the whole clip.  That is something I have remedied.

It should also be noted that of the many sites cropping up devoted to 'studying' this clip you can see any number of manipulations of these images that seem to prove to the author that a large dark object passed near or through the second tower at this tragic instance and yet although this was clearly one of the most photographed events in history, not one of these 'researchers' ever seemed to think of examining the event from other angles for an object that should be, if they were correct, visible in all videos of the event. 

Well I have and I'll show you clips of this event from many different angles so you can see for yourself that there is no large dark object passing anywhere near or through either tower at this moment.

This object can be seen only in this clip, or more accurately, from this particular angle.

Furthermore I have acquired a copy of the clip in question from a company that provides such materials from direct news feeds.  I have posted a quality, unaltered, un-enhanced version in a large enough format to include all video pixel information and maintain the correct aspect ratio and include every single video frame.

In this clip one can see the object pass in front of both towers and then near the end (in frames always omitted by others) a distinct flapping motion.  

In countering this claim, even though I have used resources that are readily available to anyone, some who feel threatened by having their pet theory too closely examined have simply resorted to accusing me of fraud. I have been accused of faking evidence more times that I can count and wear it as a badge of honor. All of the information I am providing here is available to any who would like to independently confirm my findings. Wherever possible I will provide information to the reader as to where they can acquire the same materials to assure themselves that I have not altered any images or videos.

I offer my deepest condolences to all who have suffered from this senseless tragedy and acknowledge my profound respect for the heroic efforts of the many brave New York City Firemen, Police Officers, Port Authority Officials and Emergency Service Personnel who performed so bravely and sacrificed so much that today.

The many fine Military and Civilian personnel who perished at the Pentagon in service of their country are likewise ever prominent in my thoughts and in my heart.
