WP agrees with the controllers:

That was American Airlines Flight 77.

Controllers could not identify it because its transponder, the piece of equipment that transmits identifying information to radar screens, had been turned off. No radio contact could be established, either. All that Dulles International Airport controllers could do was warn controllers at Ronald Reagan National Airport and then watch as the plane headed closer and closer toward White House airspace, then began a right turn, then dropped below radar level.

It was the Pentagon's turn.
