It's very easy to be sceptical when members post their UFO pictures and accounts of their sightings . Their stories sometimes sound implausible and
their pictures are never quite clear enough to make out exactly what they have seen, but if you were to experience an encounter of your own, would you
be capable of getting that all important evidence that will convince the world.
Too often I see people respond to someone's tale of their UFO sighting by asking them to return to the place where they saw whatever they saw and
try to get some more evidence or better pictures, but the chances are that you only get one shot at this , so you need to get it right first time.
Here are some tips from a few sites , that might be of use in the event of a UFO sighting.
These points would be very helpful to keep in mind while filming or photographing your UFO
Use a camcorder or camera to record the event. Try to keep reference points in the field of view, as this will aid researchers in analyzing the
film. If you do not have a camera or camcorder then draw pictures of what you saw and the area around it.
If the sighting is from a distance, at an arms length, what would it take to cover up the object? A Quarter? A Penny? A Dime? An Aspirin? Or would it
take something bigger? A Golf ball? A baseball? Or a Tennis ball?
Try to judge the distance from you to the object, the object's altitude, and its speed. Was it across the street or was it over the next field? Was
it tree top level or was it a few hundred feet up? Did it cross the sky in 5 seconds or 5 minuets?
UFO's 10 things to remember
Here you can find some good advice on the best way to film a UFO , that won't so easily be written off as a hoax. Good advice, as long as you manage
not to panic, and follow it!
Here are a couple of pointers from the site.
1. Zooming in and out. Zooming increases and decreases both size of image and perspective. Features (objects) that are videotaped move in a
proportionate ratio of size/distance. When one zooms, an analyst can extrapolate relative distances of objects, hence eliminating close-up models and
reducing the possibility of computer model insertions. So, when videotaping, make sure you do some zooming.
2. Camera movements such as panning, both up and down to include other relative objects that are much closer than the UFO. When a camera is panned to
other objects, especially ones that are close up, the camera's autofocus feature will change the lens to focus on the closer object. This also helps
to determine that an object, such as a UFO was in fact at a certain distance. It is also difficult for a computer image to "pace" the autofocus
characteristics exactly. In other words, it would be difficult to fake a UFO where the camera was first focused at infinity with the UFO in focus,
then focus on a close-up object and then back. The time lag in the autofocus feature will bring the UFO in focus along with other distant objects. So,
when videotaping, make sure you pan to close up objects then back to the UFO.

So now that you know how to get some convincing footage, here is a fun site where you can practice your camcorder skills, and see how valuable your
UFO evidence could be. Those UFOs are pretty tricky to follow while you're zoomed in on them!

So hopefully, The next time I see something a bit strange in the sky, I will be ready for it, as long as I remember to keep the batteries in my camera
charged of course!
