There have been millions of digital cameras sold over the years where all you have to do is point and push a button and perfect picture. Not one clear picture of a UFO. Amazing.

You said — “There have been millions of digital cameras sold over the years where all you have to do is point and push a button and perfect picture. Not one clear picture of a UFO. Amazing.”

It’s not as easy as you think, getting pictures of things in the air. I have tried taking pictures of planes and blimps in the sky, with a good Canon digital camera and what you see with your eyes (and it looks like the camera should pick it up okay), it just doesn’t seem as big or as clear in the digital picture as with your own eyes.

I’ve taken pictures of blimps, which are slow moving and a couple of miles away, and they don’t turn out to be that good.

Another problem with snapping these pictures (even ordinary planes and blimps), if you’ve got your camera in the car or in the house — you run to get it and by the time you’re back (even in less than 1/2 a minute) the thing is gone or behind a tree or cloud or whatever.

But, besides all that — there have been pictures posted on the web and other UFO websites that do show pictures that are taken. They look as blurry and as indistinct as the picture I try to take of *simple* and *ordinary* objects in the sky... LOL...

Another problem with the zoom that some people have on their cameras, is that it’s not an optical zoom but rather a digital zoom and it just blurs the picture more. And in addition to that, when you put on a larger zoom on your camera, besides you getting a blurry picture just from the zoom (on the digital part), you get a blurry picture because it’s harder to hold the camera still when shooting it when on zoom. Furthermore, if the f-stop is not right (depending on your settings on the camera, or the focus isn’t fast enough or right, then you’ll get blurry pictures, too.

There’s a lot going on with those cameras to make things blurry in the sky. It’s not like taking pictures of an outdoor BBQ in your backyard... :-)

Nor a picture of an automobile accident in progress, either.
