Feb 24, 1942 "Battle of Los Angeles" A moment in history, that I think speaks for itself. Actual LA Times picture, and actual Radio broadcast. In wartime "jitters" the US had its first run-in with somthing that apparentlly was immune to thousands of anti-aircraft shells fired at it. To this day, this encounter is to many, the first true "non cover-up" UFO that made itself known at the wrong time on the west coast.
In 1983, the Office of Air Force History concluded that an analysis of the evidence points to meteorological balloons as the cause of the initial alarm. Yet offered no comment how how a "weather balloon" could travel against the wind and survive over a thousand direct hits from anti-aircraft shelling.
