Just the fact that you believe there is not clear video of whatever happened shows how closed minded you are. Someone from a previous post said something about video practically being prehistoric back in 2001, but that isn't the case at all, especially with the Pentagon.
It's crazy to even consider they don't have a clear video. I can't explain why they haven't released it via request, but my guess is they do what they like.

And what that parking lot camera showed was that whatever it captured was much too small to be a 757.
Are those at the pentagon laughing because they have provided fuel for yet another conspiracy theory? Perhaps.
Pentagon Security Videos:
Recent work on the video from two Pentagon security cameras shows that they captured images of the approaching, low-flying plane. In his paper “The 85 Pentagon Area Surveillance Cameras,” Ken Jenkins explains the images, how the date error came about, and the likely origins for the trailing white smoke. There is no evidence at this time that the government is withholding other images of the event captured by the surveillance cameras.
Ken Jenkins and David Chandler also recently took pairs of sequential images from the Pentagon surveillance video cameras, putting them together as you would see them in what is called a blink comparator. In this way, the image of the plane “pops out.” If you watch the image cycle a few times, the details of the plane are clearly visible. You can find the blink comparisons on David Chandler’s website, 911SpeakOut.org.
Except for the white smoke trail, the presence of a plane was not recognized by most people due to several factors:
The low contrast between the backlit plane and the complex background.
The extreme wide angle lens and low resolution of the video camera/recorder.
Some blurring due to the motion of the fast moving plane.
The small scale, low quality images that have circulated on the internet.
From their press release: "Judicial Watch originally filed a Freedom of Information Act request on December 15, 2004, seeking all records pertaining to September 11, 2001 camera recordings of the Pentagon attack from the Sheraton National Hotel, the Nexcomm/Citgo gas station, Pentagon security cameras and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The Department of Defense admitted in a January 26, 2005 letter that it possessed a videotape responsive to Judicial Watch's request. However, the Pentagon refused to release the videotape because it was, "part of an ongoing investigation involving Zacarias Moussaoui." Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit on February 22, 2006 arguing that there was "no legal basis" for the Defense Department's refusal to release the tape."

Actually, taking into account the distance the object was from the camera, it fit what a 757 at that distance through that lens would look like. Again, just more evidence showing it was a 757.
