    More interesting question is how the hell in a world with 4k phone cameras we still only get blurry vhs tape quality videos.

      This premise is also false. Go on youtube to see high definition video of UFOs.

      There are tons of sightings, and yes they went up with the advent of phones.

          What do you mean? Because it’s a valid explanation. It’s near impossible to fake a perfectly clear and high res, well focused image or video without showing artifacts of image manipulation. I do agree that a lot of those are taken in by amateurs on questionable gear, but I’ve yet to see a compelling video that cannot be debunked. And in the case of the navy or whatever army branch supposed sightings, I think those leave us with two options since they are so secretive on the subject ; it’s purposefully deceptive or it’s fabricated by third parties without consent. I want to believe but nothing ever comes out of those sightings so it’s very hard to be impartial.
