Camera surveillance systems for the sky and active experienced observers equipped with video/still cameras are two things that come to mind. In those cases, three stations would be idea for triangulation purposes. However, I doubt UFO groups would do this. It requires too much effort on their part. It is much easier to talk about "unexplained cases" than it is to do real investigations/observations.
I'm skeptical such a "proactive" approach would work anyway.

I mean, today we have radar-visual cases, EM effects, video photographs etc. and yet...

UFOs are so random in time and place I don't see how they could effectively be studied.

I think this is one reason "science" doesn't like them.
