    I also believe that eyewitnesses are telling the truth — as far as it goes.  But ask yourself — if the object is really making such incredible maneuvers that defy the laws of physics, how can mere human eyes be judging the speed that accurately?   I’m thinking of the Gorman case back in the 50’s, where a military pilot was chasing a UFO, and he claimed that it was flying rings around him.  The investigation found that it was a lighted weather balloon he was chasing!  I don’t know what was going on in the Nimitz case, but I just have a different threshold of incredulity than you do.  At my age I’m willing to say, “I don’t have enough information to decide what that is.  I’m just going to suspend judgment for the time being.”
