Decide for yourself what you think is being shown there. Okay, ready? This is what the picture I just linked actually shows: I googled "grainy photo" and then "first photo ever taken" to get the grainiest one ever. I don't know if it's the first one ever taken, but this photo is one of the oldest ones we have. "Taken in 1824, it shows the view outside of a window in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes France."

How did you do?

I don't know what I'm supposed to see here, but it looks suspiciously like the first photo ever taken.

Doubt you guessed that, unless you already happened to be familiar with that photo. You were supposed to guess before I told you the answer.

Yes, I read about it last week or so. It looked like a plate of asphalt though, this one is highly enhnanced somehow.

Okay, pretty neat, but how is that relevant?

I expected UFO buffs to fill in the picture with their own narrative. In reality I selected the picture literally only for its graininess. I was showing that you can read a great deal into tiny grainy images.

Pareidolia is a thing and so is its modern cousin "over-zoomed pixels that seem to make a shape".

The Nimitz videos are a relatively rare category, though, instrument-first observation. Most UFOs are observed with human eyes. Which have good resolution and good light level compensation.
