How did you take those photos? Was it like long exposure or something? Or did they come out like that just point-and-shoot?

Night mode on Samsung Galaxy Z-fold 5, long exposure. No filters or anything. As others have said, it was more of a light haze to the naked eye, but long exposures told a completely different story. I took about 30 pictures, but these were some of the most clear/crisp.

The last one is while the outside landing lights are on.

That's cool-- I remember watching for a long time before my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and then it was impossible to miss. It was actually really awesome, though different from the photos.

I'd say the last one actually looks pretty close to what it looked like to the naked eye.
