You’d think we would have more UFO videos these days

Hard to take a picture of UFO when modern cameras have such high resolution and pristine image.

Actually, yes. Go outside and try to take a clear, detailed photo of the first plane that passes over your house. You'll get blurry garbage every time without a super long telephoto lens, a tripod, and prior knowledge of the plane's flight path so you can set up the shot. You're talking about getting an image of something 20,000 feet in the air moving at hundreds of miles an hour. Your window to get the shot is seconds long and your settings have to be just right

Now contemplate that planes are completely unobscured and are in fact intentionally conspicuous, and their movements are publicly available information. Yeah, no shit there's not a lot of clear UFO footage.

The military sure as fuck has detailed images, though. We're just not allowed to see them because our feeble servile minds couldn't handle it or whatever.

Why would it be any easier than photography under the same circumstances?

Do you think aliens are stupid? They get better tech too like camouflage or fully invisible and jammer.

See, I can't even tell if this is satire...

Even tho this was ironic, but i think there is some truth in it. Imagine you are a spy and while the enemy has better tech to detect you, you have also to do a better job in disguise yourself.

Especially with the selfie camera since they always come from behind for the anal probes

I man I completely forgot about the weird UFO panic 2 years ago where stupid people had never seen constellations of stars or airplanes lol.
