"Ezekial saw a wheel, way up in the air..."
True...but angular measurement can at least describe what you saw, even if it is inadequate to explain what it was. The first step in any observation is to get the sensory perception right. Interpretation can then proceed.
For example, the "bright star" example I use is consistent with an artificial earth satellite. That doesn't necessarily mean it was one. "A bright light flew across the sky and it was no airplane." tells you absolutely nothing.
The trouble with most anecdotal reports from untrained observers is that you can't even make a reasonable guess as to the nature of the observation.
