A data point in the ‘why are there no clear pictures’ debate – this is an F-35A taken from between 6-8 kilometres away via a one generation old smart phone. Contrary to what is routinely claimed here you can get identifiable images of distant, fast moving objects in the sky with a phone.

how fast was this f35 moving? how fast do uap travel? what would be the expected differences in smartphone photos just based on this one variable?
Submissions statement: it is frequently claimed here that one reason why we never seem to have clear UAP pictures despite ubiquitous smart phone ownership is that phones are simply incapable of capturing adequate quality images. I had the opportunity today to test what is possible using a small but fast moving jet at a known distance from my location.
Here are the results – imperfect, but certainly clear enough, pictures where multiple features and the overall shape of the object are clearly discernible.
If you zoom in on the first image you’ll also notice sharpening artifacts, which are often claimed to be a “field” around objects in UAP photos. This is the phone software doing its best to delineate the object from the background via sharpening (unless the F-35A uses a field to warp through the air…).
These are taken with a Google Pixel 6 Pro at maximum zoom, which is 4x optical + digital zoom. I knew the approximate distance of the plane because it was performing stunts over a known location on the ground.
I should add that of about 12 photos maybe 2 had issues due to autofocus. I also accept that this would be a lot harder, if not impossible, at night from this range.
Edit: the downvoting of a straightforward comment intended to demonstrate a simple and narrow proposition is everything that is wrong with this sub. Obviously I’m a Mick West-esque denier for posting this.
Its possible that uaps blur the image somehow.
Or they are faster?.
Adelaide represent.
Another reason why there aren’t clear pictures, could be they’re simply not flying around population centers, or high enough to not be photographed clearly, or only come down at night when everyone’s indoors. This is the same reason we don’t have any photographs of black project stealth aircraft, even though we know they exist.
Get a pic of an F-35 moving a supersonic speeds, at night, with their landing lights on and see the difference.
It is hard to take a picture of a commercial airliner in flight at night with its lights on with a cell phone camera. Depending on which strobe is flashing, it just looks like an orb.
Obviously fucking fake bro, too crisp.
Never realized “uap” have easily identifiable characteristics such as wings etc.. Lol… If this weren’t shaped exactly like the easily identifiable aircraft that it is, then it would be just another unidentifiable object in the photo, and you would be wondering what in TF you just saw🤦
He managed to get lucky and have and have f 35 fly near his position at a low altitude. And he got lucky with the sky color that day too , having a lot of contrast with the color of the plane .
This means nothing .
Adelaide was epic this weekend 🫡
We’re still debating their existence?!?
