The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid,
is the name given to a incident that occurred less than three months
after the United States entered World War II as a result of the Japanese
Imperial Navy¢s attack on Pearl Harbor. At that time Many un identified
flying objects entered the skies over Los Angeles California. These UFOS
were seen by millions. These UFOS became the target of the aerial
barrage as they were thought to be an attacking force from Japan.

What else were they to think ?

The alert was eventually traced to unexpected radar returns from seagulls
over a garbage barge about 50 - 60 miles off shore. See "Ducting":
