Even in the grainy picture you can see the lights all the way across the bay to Oakland, shows how clear it was.
They identified airplanes on what they thought was the runway and called out to tower about it... who said the runway is clear and there are planes on the taxiway. They knew something "didn't look right" but continued. Can't remember how far back they were when they saw them, over a mile I think. Might not have even had to do any paperwork had they bailed on the approach at that point.
