Steve,
Eye witness accounts are not counted as evidence in science

I know, but it is in court which is what I said.
We are not discussing repeatable experimental results.
Ball lightning is a good analogy. It is not yet understood, but numerous observations such as yours show that it is a genuine phenomenon.

Also, eyewitness evidence is only of value if it is backed up by empirical evidence.

In any court, it is regarded as evidence.

. Evidence = reproducible peer reviewed etc.

Not a legal definition.

This is a silly discussion.
I said there is some evidence but no proof, and I have suggested some items of evidence as requested.

The problem is that some here wanted to turn an interesting thread on blasphemy laws into yet another about religion and the existence of God!
Pointless.
