1. If not, then yes they will be seeing the object flatten above the horizon to avoid crossing it.
2. If they are going into the black hole too, then things will look normal, and they will see the object cross the horizon just while they are crossing it themselves (see my other toot).
3. If they follow the object, but accelerate backwards enormously at the last minute, to avoid crossing it, then they will first be seeing a normal image of it before it crossed the black hole (see my previous toot), then after the backwards acceleration they will suddenly see it flattened because their relative speed will have become suddenly high.
You can try to imagine all kinds of scenarios like that, and the answer will generally be somewhere on the spectrum between 1. and 2.
