I've watched quite a few UFO videos, and I have a little advice:

1) Invest in a tripod. You're making us dizzy.
2) Stop zooming in and out so much. Zoom out for scale. Zoom in for detail. Then stop playing with the camera. It hurts our eyes.
3) Get a zoom lens.
4) Describe what you see, because what you see isn't always what turns up on the video. Tell us the shape, the color, movement, direction, does it spin?, do you see little people, etc. Telling us what YOU see may help US to see it.

I realize that it's very difficult to get good video of an object that won't stand still, that keeps changing direction and speed, etc., but see if these tips will help.

Well maybe because most people cannot afford tripods and fancy cameras and maybe just maybe it's because most of people on this planet are not professional camera men/women...

Yeah, of course, you're right. I should warn you that you should never take me completely seriously because half the time I'm half-joking ... and the rest of the time I'm only half-serious.

Unfortunately.. not all of us have the time to grab a tripod even if we do have all the fancy shmancy gear.

Speaking from experience, hubby is a photographer with all the fang dangle equipment but that night we saw the lights in the sky our brains left us. We just grabbed the nearest camera and didn't even think about the tripod til after.

Maybe for those who hunt and film UFO's professionally that is good advice.

For the rest of us, I think when seeing one it's kinda hard to just remember to breath in an out at that moment smile.gif

I know what you mean though!! So many vids are blurry and out of focus and the zooming in and out and in and out LOL - can make you motion sick!
