If someone were to record a flawless, 4K video of an actual alien walking around or a spaceship flying overhead, people would just think it’s a deep fake.

Actual, legit Fortean lore regarding this is that the phenomena knows when it’s being observed and photographed, and can manipulate time and space such that it doesn’t show up on digital photos.
That’s so pathetic.
How convenient. Reminds me of Carl Sagan’s “The Dragon in my Garage” essay.
For anyone who hasn’t read it (I highly recommend reading the entire book that it’s from: “The Demon-Haunted World”) here’s a link (it’s only two pages): http://people.whitman.edu/~herbrawt/classes/110/Sagan.pdf
Tbh, I think the big problem here is that a lot of ground-based sightings happen at night, likely due to a combination of
Weird shit stands out more in the dark, but also
It’s just flat out harder to identify stuff in the dark.
Well, guess what doesn’t work as well in the dark? Cameras. As a rule of thumb, cameras almost always work better with more light than less light. It’s already difficult to get high quality pictures of stuff in the dark (depending on your camera, settings, lens, etc), now make it a very bright thing that’s potentially moving quick and at a significant distance, and any attempt to take a picture is cooked, especially with something like a cell phone camera. So, whether what you’re taking a picture of is the mother ship, Aurora, or a DJI drone, it all just kind of turns into a few bright pixels against a dark background. Then, you inevitably get the ends of the bell curve arguing whether it was an extra bright seagull or whether they could literally see the aliens waving at them in those two pixels, which is the death of any serious conversation about the presented evidence.
