The observation is the phenomenon under investigation (objects with mass fall to the ground, the Universe is expanding, biological organisms reproduce imperfectly causing change over generations, etc). The observation in this case would be that people are claimed to have witnessed and recorded these events. Now we get to test that observation.
Right. And people claiming they saw it happen is not the evidence, it's the claim.
