I can tell you that by far the least accurate meteor reports I get are
from airline pilots. Police aren't much better. (I'm in occasional
contact with a sheriff deputy who regularly sees UFOs- presumed alien-
in the San Luis Valley, Colorado).

I'm not sure there's a correlation between the accuracy of a meteor report
and being able to distinguish between a known aircraft, an astronomical
object, and a UFO. I would be interested in details, though, just for the
sake of my own personal knowledge. Thanks.
