The Battle of Los Angeles: Did it really happen?

I'm sure most of you have heard about the recent sci-fi action flick, "Battle: Los Angeles". What most of you may not know is that the Battle of Los Angeles actually took place. This is one of my favorite UFO tales.

The picture on the right, is a photo from "The Great Air raid". Taking place from late February 24 to early February 25, 1942. The United States military fired over 1,400 artillery shells at hovering unidentifiable objects over the L.A. skyline. Within hours of the end of the air raid, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox held a press conference, saying the entire incident was a false alarm due to anxiety and "war nerves".


Ha, likely story Mr. Knox. There is no way that back then our military would fire at absolutely nothing for hours over a peaceful, native city, just because of "war nerves". Come on, its hard to say what they really were shooting at. The fact that they constantly bombarded the same area with little results, leads me to believe they could very well have been firing at an extraterrestrial space craft and had absolutely no idea how to take it down. We may never know the truth behind this event, but I know the military was firing at something.

  7. The way I see it; The universe is so unbelievably massive that there is no way that aliens to not exist. However, any race that has mastered space travel over long distances would really have no reason to visit earth other then to wipe us all out, in which case we wouldn't stand a chance. The human race seems to feel like aliens want to contact them, as if we would have something to teach or bargain with.

    If/when true alien contact does happen, there is really no reason it would be friendly. Which is why unless we somehow stumble upon another race thousands of years in the future when we have developed space travel, we will probably pass right on by, considering ourselves far superior.
