A CSETI devotee (and it is practically a cult, with rituals, secrecy, inner experiences, etc) will tell you that a camera wouldn't pick up the ufos anyway, since only those who come with a pure heart and a check written to the correct payee can sense and experience the presence of the aliens. It reminds me of transcendental meditation, which is basically meditation PLUS a super-secret mantra especially for you (complete with non-disclosure agreements and copyrights). Only the emperor turned out to have no clothes. The mantra was the same for everyone in a certain age group. And it was just a Sanskrit word.
THAT SAID, I think it would be an awesome idea for someone to get footage of a CSETI gathering. Evidence and exposure are GOOD.

Some of the events were indeed fast and my camera wouldn't catch them. I have the intention to go again and bring more gear if i can financialy support it.
We are allowed to take pictures of everything, we can record afternoon lectures too. But they specificaly asked not to abuse that. They want this to stay respectful and not turn the whole ET subject into a "Huge Money Making Story".
They don't want a scoop.
You gotta see what is the true motives of CSETI. Peaceful, Bi-lateral contact, when both ET and Human can expect to gain from it. Not the usual, abusive, Hollywood, one direction type of contact. Like true ambassadors.

Great insight on what goes on there Tock, thanks for sharing that. Please tell us all about it, it is intriguing.

Look at this scenario: If I put myself in the skin of one of those star people for example. What would be my reaction when the first thing that happends when i show up my craft to initiate contact, is getting either photographed or getting shot at...trust me, i would be so inclined to try this again.

Tock - regarding your earlier post, I look forward to seeing more evidence gathered from cseti sessions and hopefully by impartial observers. I was not aware of any efforts (or allowances) to photograph. So I stand corrected on that.
Now, regarding how an alien would feel upon showing up and being photographed.. I find that argument disengenuous. What if I told you I had an interdimensional creature living in a wooden box in my office? If you're like me (maybe you're not) you would want video/photos of it AT LEAST. But what if I said, "Well, that's not what this creature is about. He's all about personal experiential experience. If you use your camera, you're more likely to have him not show himself. Or if he shows, it won't be what *I* see when I see him.."
Hopefully you'd find my argument pretty weak. Perhaps even suspicious. Especially if I kept referring to a charismatic leader of a group who taught me this stuff.
I'm all for CSETI finding aliens. I hope they do! Just please let's let it happen "out there" in the real world, and not within the experience of some sincere believers.
