Transparency which leads to more data would be necessary to be able to better evaluate given data.

It could lead to being able to differentiate between something that's an in-camera artifact and something that's real. It could lead to being able to differentiate between something that's close and something that's further away. Or something that's moving due to the camera moving or actually moving in reality. Or being able to verify that two observations are observing the same thing.

In an ideal world we'd have telemetry data for all this (as would be done in scientific observations), but obviously military or civilian devices aren't going to be instrumented in such a way as to gather all the necessary data, but it still would be helpful to have all the relevant data that there is.

If that means establishing a way to flag such data for being stored for later disclosure sure.

If nothing else it would help differentiate between stuff that's actually interesting and misinterpretation of mundane phenomenon.

Because ultimately if I find a hoof print in my yard it COULD be evidence of a unicorn, or a zebra, but it's probably not, but if I have more data that shows it couldn't be a horse that's more interesting.
