      Yup. Show me the actual UFO and I’ll pay attention.

      Also, nearly everyone has at least a 1080p/4K camera on them at all times these days, so why can’t anybody seem to produce clear video of one?

        I agree with you wrt a UFO. However, yes, people have 1080p on a cellphone, but unless the UFO is about 15-30 feet in front of you, the longer lenses on cellphones are mixed quality at best still. So if someone is pointing a recent “100x” phone at a UFO in the sky, the footage still isn’t going to be very clear / good. It’s also difficult to track these “UFOs”, probably because of all sorts of interesting optical and atmospheric events even making them unidentified. But even trying to “zoom in” on a commercial plane from miles away to the extent you could make out much detail is not exactly easy, and there it’s usually going in a at least in theory predictable flight path, and moving “slowly” - just the distance giving such a tiny FOV from the camera …

        Most people don’t have phones that can record in infrared and when all they’ve shown us is FLIR images well that might be a problem with your “everybody has a 4k camera” theory
