This seems like it should be a priority if some unknown craft are invading air space.

My understanding is that this footage is from military craft specifically outfitted to capture images of other craft. Is it not? Funny easy joke for a late night host, but what kind of imagery were you expecting? A zoomed in HD crystal clear image? Is that typical for this kind of operation and or realistic at all? 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.
