No, the original quote was "Extraordinary CLAIMS require extraordinary evidence". From Carl Sagan, I think.
Actual events are evidence in themselves, whether extraordinary or not.

The event would indicate something, in fact, happened. An extraordinary claim is merely someone who said something happened.

Claims, not events. But that statement only holds true if you think rationally. Believers in myths, superstition and the supernatural don't require any evidence since their belief is based in psychology rather than reason.

I dont know. The most extraordinary event in history was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. and the only evidence the Lord gave us was the testimony of 12 men. 12 men who changed the world.
It's often through the small things that the great things are proven.

Extraordinary events may leave no evidence at all.
That does not mean that they are not real.
