Maybe, just maybe, there is a secret space fleet controlled by us mere humans, that is patrolling the skies and shooing away dem der pesky alienz. See you can correlate the down turn with the upturn of Black Triangle sightings. BBT starts hitting the mainstream with the Belgium sightings in 1989. That is probably a shakedown of the technology and has been increasingly better over the years.

That's part of it. The bigger part is the old, "I didn't have a camera with me" excuse is no longer valid for anyone over the age of nine and getting dragged on Twitter and YouTube for posting known BS videos and stories is now relatively common.
In other words, most of the sightings before smartphones were probably BS, perpetrated by trolls and hoaxers who can't get away with it anymore.
May the Force be with you. Always.

Possibly our technology has advanced to the point UFO's cant get near us undetected anymore. In the 50's, 60's, 70's etc there seemed to be a lot of sightings and our technology is way more advanced now than then.
