alt Hacker News>I wonder if there’s satellite imagery of this event, or maybe if in the near future we’ll have greater satellite coverage so we can corroborate these claims with imagery.
The more cameras we have (in everyone's pocket, in the streets, in the sky), the less "sightings" we have (of UFO and cryptids).
Tells you something.

People can and do see unidentified things and take plenty of photos of them.
And still no good photos of the moon from our pocket cameras

Yeah, that an advanced intelligent entity, like me, is averse to having their photo taken by any old yokel who will post it online for clout.
That’s the correct interpretation, yes?

It would tell you that they are not of this world. The same way as you can't photograph (other) spiritual experiences.
It might just be telling you that people spend so much time staring down at their phones they don't notice anything happening in the sky anymore.
