Michael Jackson’s Funeral—Set Lights

Most likely you’ve seen this picture before and wondered what that floating light was. There still is not a good explanation for it.

To me, it looks very much like this light.

If you take a look at the light above, it doesn’t look like it has any supports holding it up. I would assume then that it must be hanging from the ceiling. Like the This Is It light, the light at the funeral looks like it is floating. We see no supports under it and no supports above it even though it looks like wires would attach to the two white dots on the top of the light. The only problem to that theory is that the funeral was outside. What could hold the light up then? Something has to, because lights don’t float. So, was the funeral actually indoors? If you zoom in and compare, they look pretty similar.

Along with this strange floating light, other lights similar to the ones in This Is It are used.

This Is It:

These lights look to me exactly like the lights used in the last four pictures of the funeral. So, the big question is where were these lights? Were they still inside the Staples Center or were they brought to Forest Lawn?
