its possibly some serious incompetence on someones part, and it should be investigated. i dont think you were alone in thinkning this. any aircraft getting that close to the pentagon or whitehouse would probably have some kind of fighter up its ass
during pearl harbour i think the japs were actually seen on radar. but were ignored by officers as it was a sunday or something and they thought they were friendly fighters as no-one would dream of attacking pearl harbour. hence they didnt follow procedure....maybe it was the same here....who knows
