"No you are correct. The video was taken by a cameraman employeed by WFAA...John ???? I am in Dallas and have been watching WFAA since 8:35 a.m."

Thanks. If this is the case what are all these posts concerning a Sony camcorder? If these were indeed taken by someone in the employ of WFAA, I must reiterate, would a pro videographer be using a consumer camcorder to get these images? Optical experts notwithstanding, I don't think the question has been answered.

An update from WFAA's evening news. Cameraman John Proct filmed the re-entry for WFAA and it was broadcast live. John Proct did not know the contents of the film until he returned to the studio. WFAA also has video filmed by an amateur astromoner from Mesquite, TX with real time communicatons. Last communications was just seconds prior to Columbia entering the video shot.

The amateur astronomer is Tim Hamilton, also an employee of WFAA.
