Your question is well asked. Many times we see on Youtube videos shot of events that never would have been seen. With the age of digital photography with high-tech electronics, all you do is aim and shoot: A perfect picture.

You would think that someone would have got a UFO so detailed you could see the occupants peering out their cockpit windows. Not. The people making up these stories are Narcissists trying to grab attention using an old ploy: the salad plate suspended from a string, etc.

Check out the link in # 29. It's close to your requirements.

While I consider myself agnostic on the subject one thing I'd like to point out.

Most cameras, esp. camcorders, don't focus well at night.
A few points of light isn't enough to allow the camera mechanism to focus.
Unless the taker had presence of mind to manually set the focus at infinity the camera will 'hunt'. Not many folks would stay calm enough to do that. I probably wouldn't.

The trouble today is photos can be photoshopped so easily that any picture has to be seen w/ a large dose of salt.
