Thank you for your report. I have had two close encounters and also have no video evidence. The first was in the 1990's, no cell phone. The second was 12/65/24 and it happened too quickly to pull my phone out, find the camera app, and start recording. I was too mesmerized anyway for that. I have many cameras if you need any advice but it's very difficult to capture them at night, and they also have to return to be videoed. I've spent a ton of money on gear in hopes that I have another close encounter. It's not very fruitful. Not that I want to dissuade anyone from searching. My advice would be a simple point-and-shoot camera. Something small enough that you'll always have it with you, but can instantly turn on and start recording, unlike a phone camera where you have to unlock it, navigate to the camera app, switch the camera to video, etc. Then to complicate things even more, many people who get too close get their camera battery drained by whatever these things are, or they know they took pics and none are there when they get to the computer to view. That leaves analog film, and all of its inherent problems.
