The same lens one uses for shooting Bigfoot. The worst one you can find.

Now, 20+ years from that date, and still no authentic proof.
So many UFOs, so many cell phone cameras and dash cams - yet still no good pictures.

As an intergalactic hobbyist, I use the Glitznork 2800mm f/-2.8, tentacle-held, on a Snagnobb body set to 128 Billion ISO. Please keep in mind, silly Earthling, that these are import restricted.

Jerry, it's because of the magnetic radiation.It's so strong on UFOs it messes with the focus elements and screws up all photos

Have you ever noticed that every photo you have ever seen of either a UFO or of Bigfoot is all out of focus. This is due to the Coke Bottle lens or the fact that the people taking the image can not focus.

In all seriousness, I don't think the lens is as important as being on your toes to grab a camera and shoot. Recently, I was driving on a un-maintained dirt road in the middle of nowhere in northern Minnesota. We were probably 12 to 15 miles from the nearest blacktopped road. I had 2 smart phones and 1 Nikon d7200 with me. They were all within reach and ready to go. I was driving very slow - 6-8 miles an hour. We came up a small hill and the woods opened up a little. Sitting there on the dirt road, not moving at all, was a bob cat. Sitting staring at us. It sat for at least 20-30 seconds, staring at us, before it slowly turned and walked away. My wife and I were dumbfounded. It is hard to see a bobcat any where. It was foreign to us. We sat going that's not a dog, a cat, what is it. I am kicking myself since then. We were so amazed, we total spaced out taking a picture. Soooo, I wouldn't worry about the lens, but keeping your cool to take the shot (or many shots) when confronted with the unexpected.

I have dozens of UFO shots, and you've probably already seen them. They were all taken with my vintage Kodak Instamatic 124, which I always seem to be carrying when I see one...

Because it is our normal photo banter delivered in a totally absurd conversation. At least more absurd than the usual.

I had a great one, but was told that it was FAKE so I deleted it. No more pot for me.

I have been thinking about this topic for a few miliseconds. The lens would need a hydrocoptic marzel veins, And if a forescent score motion is involved a drawn recprocating dingle arm is included. Hope this helps.
