Those were shot on film cameras, not digital ones, hundreds of yards away. That is how big a nuclear explosion is. Few if any personnel were around if I remember. The reason that if this video featured a nuke it would've killed the uploader is that it would've been too close to the source and also simultaneously fried from the radiation and whatever freaky waves a nuke makes.

They were recorded by humans when they were still "small", and recorded by unmanned devices when they grew larger. Distance is also relevant - if you stand at the right distance, a star with a radius of 2Gm will look the same as a star with a radius of 100Gm. There was also a word to describe it... it was something about the size based on view angle.
