The images in that report are most certainly not the best in terms of quality. At best they're no better than what's available on the Judicial Watch website.
Personally, I believe they're painfully wrong in their identification, for a few of reasons:
1) To the left of what they identify as the plane, there is an object sticking above the horizon. This object forms a point, much like the vertical stabilizer of an airliner. This object is also not present in the very next frame.
2) The object they identify as the plane looks "wavy", suggesting some non-uniformity in the fuselage or the image. This is just not the case with an American Airlines 757, and other objects bearing straight lines do not appear "wavy" in the same image. This object, to me, matches a rapidly moving column of smoke better than a solid entity.
3) If that white object is the plane, then what's that white stuff in the very next frame, where the plane has already impacted the building?
Granted, I'm no expert in photo analysis, so don't take my word for it, but the first two points seem rather obvious even to me.
