Default The LA UFO INVASION BATTLE?

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 ?

Amazing Photos and video of this event exist..This UFO incident might
offer us the best actual photographic proof?

It is very rare that among the annals of Ufology there should appear a
UFO case which involved military, duh, getting your ass kicked wasn't
kosher uintil 'Nam, yet is accompanied with actual photographic proof.

Such is the case of an event which took place over the Los Angeles area
on February 25, 1942. A giant UFO would actually hover over the city,
and be witnessed by hundreds of observers some of which died from the
absurd shelling of this extraterrestrial event.

Some felt it was a false alarm brought on by war hysteria. Steven
Spielberg used the episode as a basis for his WW2 comedy "1941."

Then they would have had to falsify the stunning videos and photos.
Don't think so but...

And how many 'video' cameras do you think were around in 1942 ?

Fact is the beast that would be available to even a wealthy amateur
and most newsreel cinematographers was 16mm film. Film stock was
relatively expensive , especially in colour and film speeds were low.
Getting useful shots at night was well nigh impossible. Most of the
alleged film of night attacks in WW2 was faked afterwards.

If you see 'stunning' video from that period the chances are its faked.

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

Good point. There were no motion picture films way back then. rolls

Stunning is relative.

It is easy to "stun" somebody who has no brain. The vidclip consists of
nothing but artists' concepts of the event and what appears to be
vintage narration, such as found in newsreels of the era -- easy to
fake, although nobody in the narration an alien presence.

It is up to the gullible to fill in the blanks.

Nothing you do is useful. You very rarely even come up with a good idea,
and when the blind squirrel principal does kick in (astoundingly,
you've seem to even defeat random chance with your incompetence), you
manage to cock it up so badly that what might have been a useful thing
in a normal person's hands turns to low-grade fertilizer.

Those are your two claims to fame. Being a complete flake who can't
keep even the simplest of things on track for any significant period of
time, and being an absolute moron when it comes to understanding what's
useful to the piloting community, and implementing it.

Not to killfile.

You don't think many of the people in Los Angeles (Hollywood) who owned
cameras would know how to create fake pictures???


Do you? I never said that.

Did you believe "King Kong"?


Did you believe in "Independence Day"?

Tom, reads with comprehension and doesn't shoot his mouth off indicating
he is a fool.
