Why can't anyone ever take a damn picture of video that is in focus!

They can, but those ones don't end up in "It's a conspiracy" because you can see what they really are

"camera in hand while trying to video it through the eyepiece of the telescope."

The camera would have been focusing on the eyepiece, not what the telescope was looking at. Doesn't help that the guy isn't holding the camera steady which causes it to constantly try to refocus. Would have been nice to see a picture instead of a screenshot taken out of the video that wasn't focused to begin with.

after all these years and still the people who see UFOs only have 2mp cameras

How come no camera enthusiast with a nice 20mp super Canon L-Series lens blah blah sees them?

^ The best cameras in the world are not going to overcome fog, electromagnetic haze, clouds, poor lighting, shakiness and excited state of the operator, the sometimes quick motion of the UFO, or the long distance between object and camera.

Not everyone has a camera at the ready, or thinks to get out a camera.

Many people would be reluctant to report a good UFO sighting as well.

That's true. A lot of these events often produce electromagnetic haze. Many people who see a UFO or see something strange in the Bermuda Triangle often remark about that fact.
