I honestly have no idea.
Easy for the public to say “I have an HD camera in my pocket”…. But you aren’t taking images of aircraft, from an aircraft, from miles away.
We can’t get a ground shot of a SpaceX launch after about 30 seconds… and those are planned.

I just figure if they are there pretty much every day, the military would be extremely interested in having a picture of more than a fuzzy blob, and would have people at least on the ground, on boats, maybe even sent up in planes with good cameras to try to capture that. If it is Russians, or Chinese, or aliens, doesn't it make sense they'd put a lot of resources into understanding what they are dealing with? It feels like they barely care. "Oh, ya, we captured another fuzzy video of those things. Neat." Not really the MO of the military, is it?
I mostly feel like the public is being played pretty hard here, but I'm not sure what the end game is.
