I’ve seen videos of the explosion from what I think is some sort of gate camera that shows the the explosion site. Because of the distance, you can see before and after. No plane in the whole video.
I located a copy of the video (which I remember seeing fifteen years ago) in ten seconds by tossing "security pentagon plane hit video" at a search-engine. Here it is. Cheap-ass surveillance systems procured in the mid-90s were not 60fps 4k. No. They took one low-resolution photo every few seconds -- as can be seen by watching the cop car herky-jerky through the shot before the plane hit. A plane in flight will cover a hundred feet in a few seconds, so it's not surprise that it goes from pristine Pentagon to explosion in a single frame.
The explosion is big, bright red fire & black smoke fireball, as you would expect with an airliner stuffed full of JP-1A aviation kerosene.
Given that it's several hundred feet away in the background, and can be seen at all on that cruddy camera, it's the size of a plane. A missile traveling at Mach 3 would be fucking invisible.

Great video
"That did not look like 747..."
Hardly shocking, given that AA F77 wasn't a 747.
"it was as small as a car."
