Eye Witness Testimony - Credible or Not?

Eye witness testimony is often considered the lowest form of evidence when investigating UFOs and paranormal phenomena. If this is so, then we must ask ourselves the following questions:

Why do we go to war based upon eye witness testimony of investigators who supposedly saw various types of weapons?

How is the special weapons investigators eye witness testimony any better or worse than the testimony of trained pilots in the United States Air Force?

How can we doubt the eye witness UFO testimony of former President Carter who was a nuclear scientist on a Naval submarine?

Why doesn’t former President George H. W. Bush, a trained pilot, and his son, President George W. Bush, also reputedly a trained pilot, not rush to vindicate the testimony of US Armed Forces pilots in regards to UFOs?

How can we imprison people for life based upon eye witness testimony?

How can we send people to their deaths based upon eye witness testimony?

Eye witness testimony can not be considered credible in one case and incredible in the other.
