I would guess that there are more cameras rolling at all times. Therefore increasing the odds of capturing these fireballs on video.

    You just made me realise something unrelated : we've missed the window for Bigfoot and Nessie with AI being so believable now.

    We had about 20 years of everyone having constant access to high enough quality cameras. Anything before that was all shaky handicam footage and anything from this point on will be dismissed as AI.

    Really have done gone & shot ourselves in the proverbial big(foot) haven’t we? Perhaps us regular folks are victims of our own brilliance. Oh well, M’s won on day 2 of MLB 2026 season. That’s pretty cool if your a Mariners fan.
