The
so-called “Battle of Los Angeles” occurred on 24 and 25 (p.m. into
a.m.) February 1942.
Several UFOs were first sighted over Los Angeles , California ,
on the night of 24 February 1942.
Excerpt from the Wikipedia article, “Battle of Los
Angeles”:
“Air raid sirens were sounded throughout Los Angeles County at 2:25 a.m. and a total blackout
was ordered. Thousands of air raid wardens were summoned to their positions. At
3:16 a.m. on February 25, the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade began firing
12.8-pound anti-aircraft shells into the air at the object(s); over 1400 shells
would eventually be fired [1]. Pilots of the 4th Interceptor Command were
alerted but their aircraft remained grounded. The artillery fire continued
sporadically until 4:14 a.m. The objects were said to have taken about 20
minutes to have moved from over Santa Monica to
above Long Beach .
The ‘all clear’ was sounded and the blackout order lifted at 7:21 a.m.”
It was the contemporary news agencies who named the
UFO incident, The Battle of Los Angeles.
The interview starts at 25 minutes.
