The images in the videos are of target quality, and were not taken by a conventional camera.

They are infrared images that are represented on a green screen.

A conventional camera would never be able to maintain a lock on a image from several miles away...from a moving ship at sea.

The USN cameras cost millions.

Bingo.

You can always tell the level of military or maritime experience by the stupidity of the comments when it comes to optical clarity of what are targeting and/or maritime navigation cameras.

You don’t need a ‘clear’ picture of a 100M vessel with an intersecting heading, you just need to understand that it’s there. And as you say, the computer doesn’t need optical clarity to track a fast mover...it just needs the ability to track it. These systems are not and probably never will be optimized to produce a studio-quality photo. It’s simply not needed.

Then people will say: ‘I can’t believe the cameras the Navy uses haven’t improved in 50-years.’ This too is PROFOUNDLY ignorant. Many of the images that have been captured with 3GEN and 4GEN infrared cameras likely wouldn’t have even been detected with 1GEN infrared from the 1980s. It’s absolutely AMAZING what night vision can ‘see’ when at the exact same time, the human eye can’t detect anything.

I have often tried to capture images of the night sky events, not ufo’s, with my Nikon. As an amateur photographer I would never really get the camera to lock in and actually take a picture.
On my cell phone it’ll take pictures, when you zoom in it’s super granular.

That said with all the “ufologists” out there you’d think we would have some spectacular clear photos and video of the ufo sightings. Not saying I’m a non believer, in fact I think something is out there that may be man made or alien. I feel the universe is too vast to not have other life forms out there. Do we really believe God only put life on our planet? There has to be other planets in the goldilocks zone of other solar systems. Just my 2 cents.
