1949 - Cincinnati, Ohio. During the Jitney Carnival at the St. Peter and Paul Church in Norwood, Cincinnati, Ohio, Reverend Gregory Miller, purchased from army surplus, an 8 million candle power searchlight.
Sergeant Donald R. Berger of ROTC of the University of Cincinnati would operate it.
During the height of the festivities, at 08:15 PM, Sgt. Berger's sweeping searchlight suddenly flashed across a stationary, circular object in the sky.
Reverend Miller and later others joined in and observed.
This was only the beginning.
Davidson took ten "still" photographs of the large disc-shaped object that flew in and out of the searchlight beam.
