    Yea, once there is any video evidence that doesn’t look like the worse camera in history held up by a parkinson’s patient I’ll actually consider believing in UFOs. Like cmon folks, all cameras are 1080p now at least with auto stabilisation and they are literally everywhere, if there are any aliens on earth there would be an actual proper video at this point.

      I did this to trick a friend that was all about alien UFOs, I only feel like a little bit of a jerk for it lol

      I went for a walk on a clear day when you could see the moon and just used my camera to film the moon as I wiggled my hands around so it looked like the moon was just a white object darting around lol

      Also, if there are tons of aliens flying around all the time, but they don’t want to talk to us, or give us technology, or fight us, or enslave us. What’s the point, they are just going to keep spying on us and my life is going to be exactly the same? Boring.

        Good thing phone cameras aren’t the only cameras.

        The world is constantly under monitoring from hundreds of different groups. At least one of them would have produced a video is it existed.

          Well, yes, but your point and the OPs point are very common and it’s almost always paired with the fact most people have cameras in their pocket now.

          Also, most security cameras are small sensors too.

          I do agree that it’s strange not much has been captured. But I also feel like this is a valid plausible reason.

            Security cameras and phones aren’t the only cameras. It doesn’t matter how many “bad” forms of camera you list - there are still thousands of good cameras pointing up at the sky day and night 24/7.

        They maybe aren’t ideal, but they’d be good enough that we’d have thousands of videos by now. You might not be able to tell exactly what’s there, but you would be able to correlate them all and have pretty definitive proof. That hasn’t happened yet though, so clearly there’s an issue with the initial hypothesis. Maybe something like it being aliens makes no damn sense. How would they be able to get here but also need to fly aircraft around. We can watch what’s happening on earth from space with fairly high detail and we have trouble just leaving our atmosphere.
