Points not showing in map... but not entirely absent

I am an absolute novice with ArcGIS (please be gentle with me!). I am using online access on a MacBook Pro in Chrome. 

What I'm trying to do: The city of Gainesville, FL makes their traffic accident data publically available, and exportable as a geojson file. I want to visualize the data on a map, so I downloaded the geojson file and uploaded it as a map layer in ArcGIS. Nothing fancy, all default settings.

What is happening: Only two data points are showing on the map, one from 2022 and one from 2023. If I click on either of those points, I get the expected pop-up with all the associated data, all good. If I open the associated data table for the layer, I can see that all the data is there: 6,000 records. But only two of the 6000 are showing up on the map.

[I tried to load a screen cap here to show the layer, data table, pop-up for one of the points, and information settings, but got a "you do not have permission to upload images" error, so I reckon we'll just have to start in on the thousand words that the one picture is worth!]

I've seen a lot of posts with questions about data points not showing up, but they've all been all-or-nothing. Any idea why two and only two out of 6000 records would be appearing? Or how to get the rest in on the party?

Many thanks!
