I have tried to take some photos but the result is horrible. My camera settings in manual mode:
-White Balance
-F: Auto...10.........100
-S: 1s 1/4s 1/8s ... 1/30s 1/60s 1/125s 1/250s 1/500s 1/1000s
ISO: Auto 100 200 400 800 1600 3200
Oh nice, your monitor arrived.
What you want is record a video instead of taking a picture.
Move your camera, follow the ufo matching its speed. Static camera footage is invalid way of demonstrating motion. Don't forget to keep your hands steady while recording. After that you could use freezeframe technique to extract accurate ufos that have
aligned sync track. But its easier to just upload raw footage somewhere and giving us link so we could do it ourselves.
The important camera setting would be
exposure - set it to 4 times the length of the monitor refresh (e.g. 240Hz/4=60 = 1/60s)
If you don't have the exact exposure value available (e.g. 144Hz/4=36 but u have 1/30s only) than use closest higher value (1/30s). Use only higher values in this case, not lower. So for 390Hz and 360Hz its better to use 1/60s than 1/125s since u don't have 1/100 or 1/90 option.
Second important setting is
ISO - setting it to high will overbright and burn the detail out. So set it lower at around 200 for more detail. Also reducing monitor brighness will help here.
And last one is
focus - its preferred not to use auto focus, but use whatever gives you the crispiest and consistent quality.
Now I'm not a camera expert but this is what worked best for me with smartphone camera, gave closest results to real life.
So the result should look something like this:

Doing all Hz-OD-strobed-vrr combinations, extracting them and putting them in one picture is alot of work but its the best way to demonstrate motion performance.
