Battle of Los Angeles

According to reports in the Los Angeles Times, on Wednesday, February 25, 1942, an unidentified craft hovered over the city of Los Angeles. This event, dubbed the “Battle of Los Angeles,” was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of residents of the area. Spotlights, intent on spotting Japanese aircraft, played over the motionless craft. The military lobbed almost 2,000 rounds of high explosive shells at the floating sphere. Unscathed, the hovering UFO leisurely moved off to the south and disappeared over the ocean south of Long Beach. Six civilians were killed, others injured -- the results of shells fragments.

(Not reported to the public was the recovery of two aircraft -- one off the coast of California, the other in the San Bernardino Mountains -- which according to secret intelligence sources were in all probability of interplanetary origin. These findings were sent to President Roosevelt by General George C. Marshall who subsequently ordered a "thorough investigation of all War Department files regarding unconventional aerial phenomenon reprted since 1897..." Courtesy Ryan S. Wood, MAJIC EYES ONLY)
