they found a video tape (rather miraculously) taken by one of the crew during reentry.

somewhere it must be available... (???) IIRC it shows most of the crew (some not wearing helmets) while the 'light show' begins outside.

the finding of the tape is also very interesting: a rancher contacts NASA saying he found a piece of shuttle on his prop. The crew goes out to pick it up and finds the tape casette lying next to the vehicle where they parked.

edit:
release of tape + details
