You brain can only process information so fast, and this holds true for the eyes as well. Your eyes have something similar to a “frame rate,” where they can only send a certain amount of information over the optic nerve at one time (it isn’t a constant feed, and you don’t have a set frame rate; it varies for each color, amount of light, and how focused your attention is). Something moves too fast and you can (usually) tell that something was/is in that space, but it’s moving too quickly for your eyes to lock on to it and give your brain a clear image.
