title: russia puzzled by norways decision to host us marines
text: why isnt observer evidence like eyewitness accounts counted as evidence for ufos page  link eyewitness accounts have been used by science for years newton used eyewtiness accounts in the principia when talking about comets he came up with a theory on comets based on recorded sighting throughout the world like a boy saw a comet and this is what he described there wasnt any internet to even verify the credibility of these eyewitness accounts yet newton used them to come up with a theory about comets which helped lead to his equations of gravity so if eyewitness accounts are so unreliable how did newton use them to come up with his theories we also saw this with meteorites this is from wiki although meteors have been known since ancient times they were not known to be an astronomical phenomenon until early in the th century prior to that they were seen in the west as an atmospheric phenomenon like lightning and were not connected with strange stories of rocks falling from the sky in  yale university chemistry professor benjamin silliman investigated a meteorite that fell in weston connecticut silliman believed the meteor had a cosmic origin but meteors did not attract much attention from astronomers until the spectacular meteor storm of november  people all across the eastern united states saw thousands of meteors radiating from a single point in the sky astute observers noticed that the radiant as the point is now called moved with the stars staying in the constellation leo astute observers saw meteors radiating from a single point in the sky and to this day this is still called the radient i thought science never uses eyewitness accounts also heres a list of published papers and studies on ufos this page offers a list of  articles papers and monographs about ufos  uaps published in professional journals and specialty publications two polls of professional  amateur astronomers respectively on whether they see ufos or not finally  phd dissertations and academic publications about ufos very little peerreviewed literature has been published in which academics have proposed studied or supported nonprosaic explanations for ufos wwwhypernet why arent there more nonprosaic explanations of ufos that alone lends support to the notion that extraterrestrial visitation has occurred i have had  sightings myself two looked like probes it was real windy one day and the wind was almost knocking me over then this round orb passed in front of me going against the wind it slowed down and then it sped back up where are all the scientist explaining ufos why are there still these unidentified objects in the sky we have aeriel phenomena in the sky that can avoid radar outrun our best planes and cause nuclear facilities to malfunction after  or more years of these sightings why cant scientist explain these things like newton did with comets based on eyewitness accounts or what happened with metorites heres  eyewitness accounts
