A picture of a UFO is nice, but it doesn't prove anything especially if it is only a light in the night sky.
Every time someone sees a light displaying weird behaviour; most sceptics will say, "it could be an unknown natural phenomena among other explanation".
With a spectrum of the source of light, we can scientifically prove whether it is a solid metal object or a burning bush. It could give us much more information on what it is. We are able to tell the composition of stars light years away using the same technology.
All we need is any camera (even your cell phone camera) and a diffraction grating slide that can be found for $0.40 online (here for example: Diffraction Gratings Slides - Linear 500 line/mm)
More information on how it works and how to use it can be found here:

If half the camera cell phone owner in the world had a diffraction grating slide in their pocket, we would get a spectrum of a UFO tomorrow.
The problem, it seems that very little people know that it is an option, that it would help. That is were a show such as the paracast and the paracast forum can help.
Gene and David, what do you think? Could you mention it on the show just once. Don't you think it could be useful to have more pictures with a light spectrum to find out more about the things that fly over our backyards?

). Otherwise, I think its worth a try ... it wouldn't do any harm to try it out and see what happens
