Actual, legit Fortran lore regarding this is that the phenomena knows when it’s being observed and photographed, and can manipulate time and space such that it doesn’t show up on digital photos.

It’s just flat out harder to identify stuff in the dark.
Well, guess what doesn’t work as well in the dark? Cameras. As a rule of thumb, cameras almost always work better with more light than less light. It’s already difficult to get high quality pictures of stuff in the dark (depending on your camera, settings, lens, etc), now make it a very bright thing that’s potentially moving quick and at a significant distance, and any attempt to take a picture is cooked, especially with something like a cell phone camera. So, whether what you’re taking a picture of is the mother ship, Aurora, or a DJI drone, it all just kind of turns into a few bright pixels against a dark background. Then, you inevitably get the ends of the bell curve arguing whether it was an extra bright seagull or whether they could literally see the aliens waving at them in those two pixels, which is the death of any serious conversation about the presented evidence.
