February 25, 1942 Los Angeles, CA A blackout is declared and the residents, fearful of a Japanese raid, turn off the lights as alarms sound. Anti-aircraft guns puncture the sky in an attempt to hit unidentified objects coming in form over the ocean, and large beams are scanning the sky in search of attackers. Witness report red or silver colored small objects moving at a high altitude in formation. The objects were moving fast, and they were unharmed by the Anti Aircraft pounding. The large object in the picture was reported to be unhurt by the military’s salvos. This photograph is also known as the “Battle of Los Angeles”. (photo: United States Military)
