There's also the fact that the red eye started to suck in everything. From that we can assume that the red eye was sent to earth not for occular inspection but to gather samples and bring it back to homeworld for processing. So the Red Eye couldn't have detected any of the gems unless they were sucked in. But considering it was destroyed, homeworld couldn't have sent something to inspect why the RE didn't return.
