The time it took me to get my phone out...get the camera app working, find the thing in the viewfinder?
OMG!!! Had it been a real cryptid no way could I have gotten a pic.

Very humbling.
Sometimes I try to catch something unusual with my phone, and the same thing happens. By the time you get it out of your pocket and set up to take a shot, it's basically gone.
I've suggested to the universe that someone should devise a "paparazzi" app, where you touch just one button on your phone (or possibly double-click an external button before you even open it), and it automatically opens a camera app, sets the optical zoom to maximum and the focus to infinity, and starts taking a series of photos or a video (whatever you choose to default to). That way, it's like click-click and all you have to do it get the object in the screen and you're in business. Good for UFOs and stalking.
