People who are connected with each other by either being friends, family or sharing the same place to live or work, they will almost instantly believe what the person next to him/her is saying. This is 100% psychological, not supernatural.
You can not understand this as long as you reject it. And i understand why you want to reject it. Because it tells you you are wrong. And nobody wants to admit he is wrong.
Walk outside on a busy day. Look up. If you do it long enough other people will look up. Say you saw something weird. You saw something moving through the clouds. Noone will pay much attention to you.
Now repeat this experiment with 3 friends. You and 2 friends, 10 meters apart. Do it again, look up to the sky and say "wow, did you see that object moving through the clouds!?" and have your 2 friends say the same thing at the same time.
This time there will be 10 people who who heard the 3 of you claiming the same thing and right away they're pretty sure they saw it as well. Not 100% sure but hey if 3 people mentioned it, it must be real.
Those 10 people go home. They're sitting at the dinner table with their wife/husband and 2 kids. That person says "you know what i saw today! etc".
His wife/her husband ovbiously will believe it. And the 2 kids as well.
The next day at their job. "my husband saw this object moving through the clouds. Way faster than anything human made could move". Bullshit! "no, it was real because at least 10 people saw it, and my husband would never lie!".
Dude goes home and during dinner tells his wife "You won't believe what i heard today! 30 people saw the same bright orange UFO flying around for 10 minutes!" Bullshit! "no really, how can THIRTY people see it at the same time if it wouldn't be true!".
I could go on forever but you get the point.
