The Nature of eyewitness accounts

Response to I love mass hallucinations...

 

I like the really strange ones like the many photographs of what definitely look like wild kangaroos that are taken in America each year.

Or the stories where maned lions are seen around America.

Or, the ones where enormous birds fly by that are as big as airplanes.

Or when people report having seen what looks like a flying pterydactyl.

Or, the ones where fish, all of the same level of decomposition, fall from the sky, implying that they were up in the air quite some time flying around.

The nature of eyewitness accounts is probably at stake here. You question any two people who saw the same event, and you will definitely doubt that each saw the same thing even if it is a simple thing such as two cars hitting each other.

But, when they get a photograph, as well as an eye witness account. Fakery is suspect, of course, but...

Still interesting.
