They said it just a... that it's been said, a lot of times that those lights around the saints, and the unbelievers say that's some artist painted that picture.

George J. Lacy's report did not comment on whether the source of the light was natural (i.e. electric indoor lighting) or supernatural.

Lacy's report does not indicate anything about the source of the light.
