'UFO' doesn't mean 'alien spacecraft'...

Sad that I have to explain that to someone who claims to be a scientist.

Light being recorded above a man's head does not mean God.

I believe person that examined the negative used the term 'supernatural' im reference to the light, seeing how there was no explanation for the light being there...

Then you'd have to dismiss eyewitness testimony of a woman who says she saw a hovering light.

If no one can explain the light then... you get to make up whatever conclusion you want?

This is called an argument from ignorance. I can make up a conclusion too. It's Odin. He makes "supernatural light" sometimes.

At best you have unexplained light. The rest is your imagination and excessive confirmation bias.

We don't have to have an explanation to point out that your explanation is a total non-sequitur.

He didn't use the term 'supernatural' in the image you linked to. This is an example of you seeing what you want to see.

"no explanation" does not mean there aren't perfectly simple and natural causes that could be explained if we had more data available. All the paper says is that he cannot find any obvious signs of tampering. That is not the same as saying that it wasn't tampered with or that light was not deliberately used to create a halo effect, or even that it wasn't an accident.

Provide the details first and stop being intellectually dishonest:
