What does it take to make you believe?

"Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence", someone once said.

Would you believe someone on the street if he/she told you something unbelievable? Would you believe if he/she was a car saleman? Would you believe if he/she was a teacher? A policeman? A judge? A doctor? What about if he is an astronaut? How about 3 remarkable astronauts?
