GUIDANCE TO UFO PHOTOGRAPHERS

This document, titled 'GUIDANCE TO UFO PHOTOGRAPHERS,' provides a set of ten technical instructions intended to assist individuals in capturing high-quality photographic evidence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The guidelines emphasize technical settings and field procedures to maximize the utility of the images for subsequent analysis. Photographers are advised to set their cameras to infinity and use film such as Tri-X. For moving objects, the document recommends shutter speeds no slower than one-hundredth of a second, noting that the specific shutter and f-stop combination should be adjusted based on lighting conditions. The instructions explicitly warn against moving the camera during exposure. Regarding field technique, the document suggests taking multiple pictures and including ground references in the frame. If the object is close, the photographer is advised to change their location by a few hundred feet to create a base line, which is described as helpful for technical analysis. If the object is distant, the photographer should remain in place or drive a short distance to take additional series of pictures. Furthermore, the document instructs photographers to take overlapping, eye-level photographs of the surrounding countryside after the UFO has been captured to provide context. Finally, the document stresses the importance of the original negative, advising that it be processed with care, that a duplicate negative be made if possible, and that any reproductions for study should include the entire frame, including the border and sprocket holes.
