I'd personally believe personal accounts given first hand, than anything
else.


Well, often first hand accounts are wrong, or at best conflicting. For
example
Ed doesn't believe the BUFF-MiG-21 shootdowns, but you and both B-52
aircrews
involved do. I find first hand accounts good for supporting data, personally
I
prefer records, although as you pointed out these are often incorrect too.

The NTSB sure doesn't put much credence in eyewitness accounts at
all. They use them only to add a slight

And whathapopens in the cases where the only accounts you have are first hand
eye witness accounts??? Then what?
