What hit Pentagon?

At first, I wondered a Global Hawk hit Pentagon.
As I see the pictures and map, I started to think a missile may have hit pentagon.
The reason is as follows.
The angle of the entering
Size and shape of hole
There is Fort Myer across the interstate.
When I looked up by
"missile launcher fort myer"
I found this

Thanks, Rwesterh!

But I did not find any good info I want.

I need a relation between Fort Myer and a missile launcher.

I've always wondered if we have secret SAM sites located around the Pentagon, White House, Capitol, etc. IF the Pentagon was hit by a missle then it would be easy to launch from one of the secret sites.
The Pentagon definately knew something was coming. If one seriously believes they were taken by surprise, they are just being ignorant.

Timeline
Before 9:37 a.m.: Army Base near Pentagon Holding Air Field Fire Fighting Training At the Education Center at Fort Myer, an army base 1.5 miles northwest of the Pentagon, the base’s firefighters are undertaking training variously described as “an airport rescue firefighters class”; “an aircraft crash refresher class”; “a week-long class on Air Field Fire Fighting”; and a “training exercise in airport emergency operations.” Despite hearing of the first WTC crash during a break, with no access to a TV, the class simply continues with its training. According to Bruce Surette, who is attending the session: “We had heard some radio transmissions from some other units in Arlington about how they thought they had a plane down here or a plane down there. So you’re thinking, ‘Hey this could be real.’ But it really didn’t strike home as being real until our guy came on the radio and said where the plane crash was.” The Fort Myer firefighters then immediately head for the Pentagon, arriving there at 9:40 a.m., only three minutes after it is hit, and participate in the firefighting and rescue effort there. The fire station at the Pentagon heliport is actually operated by the Fort Myer Fire Department, and is manned on the morning of 9/11 by three Fort Myer firefighters who have already undertaken the airfield firefighting training. [MDW News Service, 10/4/2001; Pentagram, 11/2/2001; JEMS, 4/2002 ; US Department of Health and Human Services, 7/2002; First Due News, 4/17/2003] The Fort Myer military community, which includes Fort Myer and Fort Lesley J. McNair—another army base, just two miles east of the Pentagon—was scheduled to hold a “force protection exercise” the week after 9/11. However this has been cancelled, so just prior to the attacks the morning of September 11, “some of its participants [are] breathing a sigh of relief.” [Pentagram, 9/14/2001]

I do not why they did not hear any sound from airplane.
