I started to type, and then realized that jarlrmai largely beat me to it: Before we had cameras and lenses as good as we do now (I'm not even a photographer, and I have a 200-800mm lens) we had great, interesting, clear UFOs described to us by...

The UFO contradiction is that the better quality images are recognisable and thus never end up in the UFO pile, it's a self selecting subset.

Nah, that’s a balloon.

This would help when aligning starfields to match successful astrometry results.

Sadly, a first pass does not spot a single obvious kite in the bunch. I'll examine them in more detail later next week,

The issue might be more to do with data transmission. Cameras like the MX-15 (as used in Aguadilla) and this MX-25 (a bigger version with better optics) are generally used by manned surveillance platforms and will have a HD video feed displayed...

If you expect that to pass as evidence of aliens, when it is clearly just a car with a bunch of dudes on it.. Perhaps a poorly remembered puppet troupe..

Nah, that’s a balloon.

If we're talking about fun details on big vehicles that have been repurposed, then how about this one, based on a 1960's US ambulance chassis. The one and only, Il Tempo Gigante. It was made as a life size functional replica of the model...

Yes distance puts stuff in the LIZ, poor settings does the same, the camera might be setup more to detect presence or movement of an expected target, rather than as to perform general id of various types of things, so over exposure and over...
