How to Sky Fish for UFO’s using the Static Rapid Fire Method

July 21, 2008

I developed this process so that I am able to capture objects on film I can’t see while keeping a history and sequence of the pictures to evaluate, compare and eliminate other more earthly objects (airplanes, birds and bugs). 

This process can be used for both day and night time picture taking, but is specific to the day time.

Step One:  Choosing a Location.   

  • Choosing a location is a personal thing, I use the location outside my house for convenience purposes.  It is easier for me download pictures to my laptop and take more photos in a timely fashion.
  • It does’t seem to matter where I take pictures, these objects show up.

Step Two: Picking a time of day and factoring in the weather

  • Because I live in the land of rain, I watch the weather reports for what I consider good picture taking days = any day with sunny or partly cloudy conditions.  I have pictured just as many objects in cloudy conditions however. 
  • The best pictures I have taken were in the middle of the day.   The objects appear to glint or shine off the sun in the photos.

Step Three:  Setting up.

  • I setup my tripod right outside my front door facing Lake Washington.  I live on the third floor of my condo complex which gives me some height.  Note: Using a tripod reduces blurring and shaking.    

 Step Four: Taking Pictures

  • I stand in one spot and take at least 100 photos one after another. I include as much of the sky as I can.    Typically I shoot over the treeline or I take a panoramic sky shot.
  • With my Canon DSLR I am able to set my camera to take up to 6 photos per second, and in less than 6 minutes I can take up to 600 photos.

Step Five: Downloading and reviewing photos

  • I download the pictures directly to my laptop and save the pictures to a separate hard drive.  Photos are saved in folders by date.
  • I review my photos and enlarge sections through my photo manager to close up on objects.  I save and rename a new copy of photos with objects and keep the originals.
