Battle of Los Angeles — AA Barrage on UAP

◎Los Angeles, California, USA

US Army anti-aircraft batteries fired 1,400 rounds at an unidentified object hovering over Los Angeles. The object was illuminated by searchlights for over an hour and did not fall. The Secretary of the Navy attributed it to 'war nerves'; the Secretary of War stated a physical object was present. The official explanation remains contradicted by its own chain of command.
