Known as 'The Battle of Los Angeles' this event took place late night 24th and early 25th Febuary 1942.
Originally thought to be Japanese bombers over the United States the craft were flying too high and too slow. Not one of the hundreds of artillery shells hit their target. People watching that night said the object was not a plane or barrage balloon. It seemed to just float or glide along.
