I can tell you that after many years of collecting witness reports of fireballs, pilots- both commercial and private- submit some of the worst data. They commonly see impossible things (like meteors below the airplane and meteors changing direction). Hours in a cockpit do not automatically qualify someone as a good witness of these sorts of things.

Hello,
I beg to differ!!! There were some very good testimonies from pilots
and other trained observers, to be sure. These are people who are trained to
look at something in the sky, and to know what it is. When you have been
flying aircraft for over 40 years, and you have over 35,000 hours behind the
stick of MANY different aircraft, and you see something that behaves like NO
other flying object you have ever seen before in your life..............now
that is hard to discount sir.
