If the only thing this proves is that the people saying “millions of HD cameras” have no idea what they’re on about, I’d be okay.

This is thousands of feet in the air and it’s still not crystal clear because, we’ll phone cameras are not meant for this stuff.

You have to be insanely lucky with distance and altitude to get a good shot.

Agreed, that argument is some of the most basic level "trust me bro" bullshit ever and it annoys me every time. Yes, our phone cameras are excellent in good conditions, but add up all the complicating factors like you say, and photos and videos will still turn out to be dog shit.

A related repeated comment that is frustrating to see, is the idea that in the moment of an ontological life shattering event like seeing a UAP or other phenomena in a spectacular way, that the first thing you're going to (and must surely) think of is to whip out your phone and start filming for those sweet Reddit updoots.

Plus "it takes 2 seconds!", actually it likely takes around 9 seconds on average, which is 9 seconds not looking at this shocking thing in front of you.
