For the record, I've developed film myself. All light sources produce the same chemical change in the film. There is no way to determine from a negative what an unknown light source was, only that some sort of light hit that part of the film. It could be anything from a reflection to a hairline crack somewhere in the camera body that caused a light leak.
From reading the report, it sounds very much like the testing consisted of checking the negative for signs of retouching (for instance, a smear of touch-up paint would create a white area on the print), and to see if it chemically resembled a negative developed according to standard procedures rather than a composite done in the darkroom. Nothing about the supernatural in the report, yet the people who commissioned the test immediately jumped to "Supernatural! Holy Spirit! Miraclez!!!"
They're either gullible or dishonest. Pick one.
