Actually,
that’s not true.
The military has had lots of excellent cameras around lots of UFO’s with lots of sharp photos resulting.
And, they’ve also confiscated lots of good photos from civilians who, though rarely, managed to get such.
That doesn’t even begin to get into the bit about professional photographers having a loaded camera next to them on the car seat and never even coming close to thinking of using it during the sighting or abduction.
But it always comes back to the question of why flying saucers seem to be documented only by those in the "cheap seats".
As has been said before, witness the grassroots level of the flying saucer movement. It's loaded with hucksters and carnival barkers and various other New Age freaks, not to mention Wrasslin' lovers and followers of astrology and various religions. Take the source of this thread alone, where the "author" also promotes itself as a psychic. And how about that catchy name of One World Psychics, huh? It's sure to be a Conservative crowd pleaser.
Is the Freep destined to be just another segment of the tabloid demographic?
Pffffffft.
