On January 24, 1950, in Houston, Texas, a black-and-white photograph was taken which did record the Light. This photograph was examined and pronounced authentic by Mr. George J. Lacy, Examiner of Questioned Documents, Houston, Texas: “Based upon the above described examination and study I am of the definite opinion that the negative submitted for examination, was not retouched nor was it a composite or double exposed negative. Further, I am of the definite opinion that the light streak appearing above the head in a halo position was caused by light striking the negative.” [Read or download Pillar of Fire Testimony] [View George J Lacy Report | George J Lacy Report - PDF]
