Before we begin this episode we would like to thank our listener Ken Costa for suggesting today's topic.

The Jitney Carnival was coming to Norwood, Cincinnati, Ohio to the St. Peter and Paul Church grounds. It was going to be a highlight of the summer's end where families with children and teens looking for fun would be entertained by a sideshow, feast on popcorn and candy apples and ride the multitude of new mechanical amusement thrill rides.

The congregation were excited and Reverend Gregory Miller, pastor of the church had an idea when he spotted an 8 million candle watt power search light at an army surplus sale. He saw them used in Hollywood to draw people to theatres and events and so he purchased the search light in hopes of making a grand spectacle.

Little did he know at the time he was about to reveal something very mysterious in the skies above Norwood that would not only attract the attention of carnival goers, but also the media and the military.
