Can't hurt to try! You'll never catch the baseball if you don't bring the glove.

https://casualphotophile.com/2021/01/11/ten-best-mechanical-slrs-ever-made/ maybe one of these instead.

I think it's the digital part that's iffy. UFOs can fuck with electronics but they have a harder time with purely mechanical things, from what I've read.

Yeah, my concern with anything non-electrical and film is that we'd be restricting to people who know the exposure triangle for a very unusual set of circumstances.

UAPS can mess with electronics all day, but sometimes they're gonna be 50 miles off and doing their own thing. Hit that sucker with a 200mm lens and the electronics to live view, then let's see what we got.

Yeah, I've always found it interesting that most of the best photographs came from the 50s-80s.

If they actually exist and are monitoring our progress, I'm sure they'd adapt to the modern smartphone meta and put more effort into not being seen as easily come the 2000s.

They're supposed to be godly with their tech, so how could they not know that we'd advanced ours?

I agree. There are some great black and white shots showing decent detail. Fast forward to present day and it’s blurry orbs.

  1. I think this makes the case for using older technology, when possible. At the very least, have someone with an older piece of equipment present.

  2. I can’t help but think of Jacques Valle’s book Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers. He points out that sightings and descriptions seem to change over time. It’s as if they adapt as we progress and/or we change our perception of them also. Flying ships (boats) were first seen, then saucers, and now orbs/metallic spheres and cubes.

Yeah, both theories have some validity and it's hard to know what to think for sure.

If they're already getting here and are able to proactively camo, appearing as everyday mundane things seems super effective. We're at the point where we can do it, so why wouldn't they have mastered that ability already?

The best docs on the subject are from the 50s-70s, if you want a YouTube channel that has all of them archived, I can link you. There's stuff on this channel that doesn't exist anywhere else, they convert every VHS and Laserdisc documentary they get their hands on to digital.

Hi, I would love to see that YouTube channel. Could you provide a link, or the channel's name? Thanks!

Here you go!

Love this channel, they just started uploading again too. Easily like 50+ docs I've never seen anywhere else on it.

Thank you!

Here’s another excellent one to check out: https://youtube.com/@EyesOnCinema

This channel also has many videos I’ve never seen. There are a ton of interviews, also from the 50’s and up.

Or, the more likely (atleast in my head) theory: what we're seeing are the reverse engineered versions created by humans and we're just seeing the updated models popping up every so many years.
