“The Battle of Los Angeles” was a massive anti-aircraft barrage that lit the skies of Los Angeles, California with artillery fire from late February 24 to early February 25, 1942. 

- 

At the time, tensions were high in the United States due to a recent Japanese Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor and “the bombardment of Ellwood” one day prior near Santa Barbara. The city was prepared to defend against anything. 

- 

To date, no threat has been officially determined and the event has largely been classified as a “false alarm” or due to a loose frolicking weather balloon. Some have speculated that a UFO was actually what initiated the barrage. A number of eye-witness accounts and photographic evidence may support the UFO claim. 

- 

Over 1400 anti-aircraft rounds were fired, thousands of witnesses were involved, and yet we still have no clue what was up there that night.

Herein, we discuss the sequence of events that occurred during “The Battle of Los Angeles” and attempt to better understand what occurred.
