> For the sheer number of surveillance cameras and phones around today, we should be getting far more UFO pictures.
Surveillance cameras usually aren't looking up. They are for catching Bigfoot, not UFOs. :-)
As far as phone cameras go I used to agree. Then I started feeding birds, which led to trying to learn the names of the birds in my area.
When I'd see a bird I didn't yet know I'd try to get a photo. That worked pretty well for birds that landed to eat the seeds I put out. For birds that I saw flying by I usually only got evidence that there was something in the sky.
I've had similar poor outcomes when I've noticed a plane that wasn't one of the usual airliners or UPS/FedEx cargo planes or Boeing test flights or smaller private planes that we get all the time and tried to get a photo.
