The Milky Way galaxy may contain tens of billions of habitable planets. UFO hunters believe that the arrival of the inhabitants of other planets on Earth is a matter of time, although they may already be among us. If you want to become a UFO hunter, start by choosing your vantage points. Besides knowing where to look, you will need good photography equipment and recording devices. Check out this article to learn more about how to become a UFO hunter.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: UFO Hunting Basics

1. 1 Buy a good camera. The words "hunt" should be understood as finding a UFO, usually in the night sky, and photographing it or recording it on a video camera. Many people claim that they saw UFOs, some even believe that they were abducted, but none of them have ever provided convincing evidence. Considering that we live in a world of skeptics, any self-respecting UFO hunter must have serious equipment to obtain serious evidence.
   • Get a camera that takes great night shots. You will need a special lens with which you can capture the faint glow and footprints left by UFOs.
   • It's also a good idea to get a camcorder. The more opportunities you have to capture UFOs, the better.
2. 2 Carry a notebook and pen with you. You should be able to record all your observations in detail. A notebook and writing utensils will give you the opportunity to take notes of all the information you need, whenever it comes to your disposal. Later, when you get home, try to enter all the information into the computer.
3. 3 Select a UFO sighting location. Organizations like the National UFO Tracking Center (USA) have online databases of sightings that can be sorted by date, country, and UFO shape. Look for vantage points in your area. It is not a fact that you will be able to spot a UFO there, but it is still the best place to start observing.
   • Include multiple visits to the same places in your plans.
   • If necessary, take a short trip to an observation point at a considerable distance. In some states or states, there may be quite a few of them, or even none at all.
   • Choose a location that aircraft rarely fly over to minimize the likelihood of being mistaken for a UFO.
4. 4 Camp for a few hours in the evenings. You will most likely have to observe for a very long time before you manage to notice any activity. Patience is the main weapon of UFO hunters. Be prepared to spend an enormous amount of time waiting under the stars.
5. 5 Record any activity. As soon as you see something, write it down, even if you are not sure if it really is a UFO. Please provide the following information:
   • date and time of observation;
   • place of observation;
   • shape, size and color of the UFO;
   • presence of other witnesses.
6. 6 Distinguish UFOs from aircraft. If you have been hunting for a short time, explore all possible explanations. Do a little research to find out if what you see has any logical explanation. For example, if you spot a UFO near an Air Force base, then most likely you have seen man-made aircraft, even if they look unfamiliar. Real UFOs have the following features:
   • They don't move in a straight line, but rather up and down or in zigzags. Their movement may not be ordered at all.
   • They don't flicker like planes do.
   • They can be in the form of discs, triangles or completely different.

Part 2 of 2: Become a Member of the UFO Community

1. 1 Mark the locations of your observations on a map in the database. Organizations of ufologists have similar databases where all important information is stored. If you spot a UFO and report it, consider that you have made a significant contribution to the activities of the organization. By looking at the reports of others, you can glean a lot of useful information.
2. 2 Find a UFO organization you can join. Most likely, there are already several organizations with regional divisions in your country. If you think that you have taken a great interest in ufology for a long time, then you should definitely join the organization. Here are some possible options:
   • Mutual UFO Network
   • UFOdb
   • National UFO Reporting Center

Tips

• Always have documents and equipment ready. Constant traveling is the norm for the UFO hunter. You can be carried anywhere: in the desert, jungle and mountains.
• Never pay people to join the "UFO Hunters Club" and do not watch UFO photos / videos on the Internet - this is spam and outright forgery.
• Perfect your observing skills. You should be comfortable in nature, as you often have to travel far beyond the boundaries of large cities (due to the presence of artificial light sources in them).

Warnings

• If you don’t have significant funds, it will not be easy for you to sponsor your trips.
• Keep in mind that observations take a very long time, which is difficult to combine with your personal life. Passion requires work at night and away from home. Most likely, your family will not support this endeavor.
• You will have to come to terms with constant ridicule. Maintain a sense of humor: you will need it.
