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.
