I hear the OP's pain...It really is a herculean task to convince some of the skeptics here, let alone the general public. I have read em all: Too far away, too close, too clear, too shaky, too still.
I for one will critically analyze anything you come up with. I'm generally a believer, but am still waiting for my own personal evidence or a "smoking gun" to turn up.
My questions for skeptics are; Has technology gotten to the point where there's NO daytime video that would impress anyone or be provable as genuine? If it were daytime video and the ship takes up at least 20% of the screen width (which would be fairly impressive), would you be able to tell if it is faked from the shaky'ness of my hand not matching the ship? Should I definitely hold the camera in my HAND and NOT use a tripod so we can have some "Shake?" Is there NOTHING that can be done to prove it's real because of technology? Otherwise I won't waste my time.
There's no sure way of knowing if any digital image or video is genuine or not, it's only a question of how much time someone wants to spend in faking something, it can always be done.

Yes, I would do it myself if I had the means.
So tell me skeptics, should I give it go?
That's irrelevant. You may film an historic event that changes everyone's lives but that does not impress me, I'm not easily impressed.
Or will nothing impress you?
I'm not interested in being persuaded of anything, I want knowledge, not to be convinced.

I think what you must remember, is that many hardcore "skeptics" have no interest in being persuaded.

Also, does the ship have to move behind something to prove it's real? Or will the shaky thing above be enough? Maybe the power lines in my back yard will work well for that.
