Ahhh.... we get it from the FDR, CVR and known weather at the time. There really is no doubt they were just below a cloud layer while at 1500' above MSL.
Slightly ironically - the most massive "assumptive, presumptive" leap of faith in all of this is Vette's "false horizon" hypothesis, which there is scant circumstantial evidence for at best. Yet it was embraced by Mahon and it's so often quoted as if it were fact.
