They advise moving position but if you are not an experienced photographer, with today's digital cameras and analysis equipment just stay in place and get ground or buildings in the image.

Marilyn's UFO SKIES Photo Tips:
With the prevalence of high quality smart phones with video and camera capacity, good photos are often an assured result. Some excellent, crisp, and very clear amateur photos and videos have emerged but they can be improved.
1. Keep your phone adequately charged; keep fresh batteries in your camera.
2. Try to capture the total setting (distance to trees, houses, mountains, landmarks, etc. can help experts verify object, measure speed, altitude and other factors). An object against a blue sky is not as helpful as an image with a light pole, building, tree for context and other reasons mentioned.
3. Avoid the desire to telescope or zoom in for a closeup. If your camera does this automatically, learn to halt that feature when needed. The camera will automatically zoom in and out losing focus and distorting the image as it seeks to find something to fix upon. Experts can take your image and enhance it for clarity so best to leave it at a normal focus.
4. If using video, avoid talking and exclaiming. If you and your friends truly see something highly strange the natural inclination will be to nervously laugh and talk, wonder out loud, and sometimes utter screams of fear, delight or a combination of the two. Avoid this as much as possible. Instead, tell people to be quiet, keep calm (take a deep breath) and describe the scene, setting, location, weather, time, etc. Example: It is about 9:20 p.m. CST, my address is xxxx, I am facing the western sky, the sky is dark with some stars, a slight breeze is blowing from the SE. The object appeared from over the top of the trees to the north of me, it appears to be (round, oblong, square, triangle, etc.), the light is very bright (or dim etc.), there is color or no color just white, it is moving high in the sky in a straight line but stops and hovers and moves up or down, etc.
5. Learn what is normal and what is truly strange in the skies. If possible have someone count how long it takes the object to cross the sky or from appearance to disappearance. An object crossing from horizon to horizon in under 15-17 seconds is moving very fast. If it appears from a specific spot in the sky and arcs across the sky disappearing in mere seconds - it is probably a meteor. If it is fiery, fast, noisy and has a tail it could be a Bolide (fireball). A steady, straight line type of course across the sky it is probably a high flying airplane or a satellite. If it appears to be standing still - keep watching - it may be an aircraft moving directly toward you.
6. If in a group - have everyone stop talking and get paper and pens! Separate them and have them write down what they saw in detail, draw a sketch, and add their names and the time of the sighting. It is always best to have witnesses not share too much and contaminate their accounts by inadvertently borrowing from another witness. This is not intentional but just a fact of human nature. we share and in the sharing we subconsciously try to conform what we saw or experienced with that of others.
