Battle of Los Angeles - 1942: The Silent Invasion Begins

by Terrenz Sword

ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL EPISODES OF WORLD WAR II MAY HAVE BEEN THE BEGINNING OF A COVERT INTERPLANETARY WAR. . .THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELS On December 7, l94l, the Japanese Navy bombed the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor and the United States officially entered WWII. Within days a top secret device called RADAR began picking up signals thought to be those of enemy aircraft up and down the West Coast of North America. Blackouts were ordered, effectively "shutting down" coastal cities from Bakersfield to San Diego. On Februay 25, l942 a Japanese submarine fired on an oil field near Santa Barbara. The following night anti-aircraft fired over 2,000 rounds at a massive unidentified flying object that hung in the sky over Los Angeles. Tens of thousands saw the craft likened to a giant lantern as it was repeatedly struck by military fire, but to no avail as it hovered for more than an hour without being shot down through six people did die on the ground as shell fragments rained down on homes and streets throughout the area. This event is an historical FACT...though not many remembered the incident until journalist Terrenz Sword uncovered long lost newspaper accounts and transcribed the testimony of many witnesses. Now you can relive the even as it happened 60 years ago.
