It generally means that someone has seen a fleeting glimpse of a reclusive and hard to find animal or person.

"We caught sight of a cheetah" = we saw it through the trees or long grass for a moment before it disappeared from view again.

"We saw a cheetah" = it walked right across our field of vision and we got a good look at it.
