Accepting one eye witness account as being true does not mean we must accept all claims of eye witness accounts as being true. Anyone can claim to have seen something. Who and what we accept as authoritative eye witness accounts regarding Scripture has little bearing on the veracity of any other so-called eye-witness account.
Surely it depends on the reliability of the witness? If I asked a drug addled drunk the same question as a police officer trained in observation, I would trust the police officer. If there were several witnesses, all sober and responsible people, I would find their accounts compelling.
The key word is "so-called". An eye witness is an eye witness and sees what they see. Now they may lie about what they see, or misinterpret what they see, which is why evidence is tested.
In the case of global earth, the evidence is overwhelming that it is, in fact, a globe. Eyewitnesses are just one more support to the global earth case. It was known to be a globe about 2,300 years ago. Nothing has come to light that would prove that the earth is not a globe.

There isn't much point in me posting the biography & writings of Johannes Kepler, Sir Isaac Newton or Cpt James Cook
when you can look them up yourself. Or of posting the famous Earthrise photo. If some FE guru has convinced you the
purpose of all science & exploration has been to hide the true shape of the Earth, it's worth nothing to you anyway.
The pioneering work of previous generations is a rich heritage. A heritage that is in this generation, under constant attack
by the likes of BLM activists & other cultural Marxists. Now we have an earthshape faction making revisions.
There is a severe lack of respect for our elders (as the adage goes) in play.
