I think Brian Holtz's similar argument in these comments is correct, but your argument is not correct, because you have unrealistic standards for "clear."

You can calibrate your expectations for phone cameras by using your own phone camera. For many purposes it is much worse than the naked eye. Take pictures and movies of the horizon, of planes, of the moon, of planes at night.

The 3 events I mentioned are all on YouTube.

2009 Sully landing: 4 cameras https://www.youtube.com/wat...

2013 Russia meteor: >20 cameras: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

2020 Iran airline shootdown: >4 cameras: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The quality is often not great, but having a second independent camera from a different vantage point eliminates huge swaths of possible explanations.

I'm shocked that the UAPTF report did not give a breakdown of how many sensors recorded various incidents, especially for the 18 that "appear" to involve unusual movement.
