Kitt Peak Observatory saw the impact flash. Link

Like I said above, Kitt Peak Observatory saw the flash of impact.

Is there any proof for that?
When I click on the Kitt Peak Observatory I am directed to a page which it includes this statement:
"I think we're all a little bit disappointed that we didn't see anything," David Morrison, director of NASA's Lunar Science Institute, told New Scientist.
www.newscientist.com...
One positive report came from Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona, where a flash of visible light revealing the presence of sodium was recorded during the impact.

Yes where is their report??
And I can say the results are miraculous.Doesn't prove anything.

I would think, as most good scientist do, the scientists at Kitt Peak will analyze the data, reach conclusions, and then review those conclusions before publishing.
Heck, Kitt Peak only saw the flash yesterday...give them a chance to figure it out.
If you are not going to believe them, then I suppose NO AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE would convince you that the impact actually did occur. So what's the point of even asking for proof? You'll probably just discount all proof anyway.

That discussion will never end untill ( perhaps ) Nasa announce the results.
What bugs me is:
- Why is the video of the moons surface they had "live" being så weird.
- Why does the descending ( zooming ) paus for a few seconds just to start going again right before the first Infrared overlay comes up?
- Why does the "zooming" being jerky? If you drag the seeker on the youtube player fast forward and backwards you'll see that the descending is far from straight. You see the same effect from very poorly done rotoscoping.
- Why doesn't the infrared overlay align with the surface shoot?
- What is the thermal "flashing" you see on the top left during the descent on the infrared overlay which you can't see any signs of from the normal camera?
- Why does it appear that the man who packs his things after the impact, ignores the "high five", and rushes out to be so upset?
These questions are atm more interesting to me rather to debate wheather there was a plume ore not.

- The man who did not high five was probably disappointed that the ejecta plume was too low to reach the sunlight (and thus become visible). I was disappointed, too.

The video you saw was from the shepherding spacecraft (the second craft to impact). This spacecraft was watching the impact from the first spacecraft (the Centaur rocket motor). The first impactor (the Centaur rocket motor) had no camera. Only the second impact craft had a camera.

I'm not sure which "flashing" you are talking about, but if you saw it during the infrared, then perhaps it was the heat signature from the impact of the Centaur rocket.

And I don't know what "zooming" you are talking about. The camera didn't "zoom". What we saw was the "shepherding spacecraft getting closer and closer before its own impact (while watching the impact of the Centaur).

The "jerkiness" of the video is because it wasn't a video per se, but rather a series of still images taken a couple of seconds apart (which made it lok like video)

Do you see why we disagree with you??
How are we sure that the impact occurred and we have results?
If the procedure of the experiment isn't successful then the experiment isn't successful as well and the results are not right.
