Eyewitness testimony

What people say they saw, and what is known about how well that matches what happened.

The account of a witness is evidence, and the research on memory says how far to trust it: strong on the broad event, weak on times, sizes, distances and sequence, and shaped by later telling. Most of the site's sightings (Rendlesham, Phoenix, Roswell, Loch Ness, the Patterson-Gimlin film) rest on it, so each account is weighed by when it was first recorded and what else can check it.

What is left is a handful of witness accounts and the 2005 object.
