Ufo through binoculars

Has anyone ever tried to get a closer look at a ufo through binoculars.I think it would have a better magnification then most cameras.Or if you had a small telescope you could probably get a nice close look at them.

I'm sure someone has; but, many UFO sightings are very fleeting. The event happens quite quickly; and most obversers would have a difficult time focusing on the object before it was gone.

Heck, I often find it difficult to focus my binoculars on flying birds when I am out hiking and camping.

It would be great; however, if someone on ATS would have this opportunity.

As for a telescope, field of view would be a real problem for anything in the atmosphere. Using a Celestron C-5, for example, I find it very difficult to track anything moving. If the thing stays still (like, umm, Jupiter, for example) it works pretty well, but anything in motion is a real bi..., I mean, problem.

The pilot who recently observed a UFO, which he estimated to be over a mile long, veiwed the UFO through binoculars. You can view a few of the T.V interviews he took part in, the threads are in this forum.
