7th Annual Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 Reenactment (2/28/09) HD

This is video of the 7th Annual Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 Reenactment at fort McArthur in San Pedro, CA. This years footage is in HD!

The Battle of Los Angeles refers to an unidentified flying object event which took place from late February 24 to early February 25, 1942 in which eyewitness reports of an unknown object or objects over Los Angeles, California triggered a massive anti-aircraft artillery barrage.
Initially the target of the barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but it was later suggested to be a lost weather balloon, a blimp, a Japanese fire balloon or psychological warfare technique, staged for the benefit of coastal industrial sites, or even an extraterrestrial aircraft. The true nature of the object or objects remains unknown.

i live right by here...

the vid was cool with that retro music-

when the music stopped the vid sucked :(

i dunno maybe u could have kept the music all the way thru?

[DanCamFXPro]

The music was not added in post, there was a real live 1940s style orchestra playing and when the battle starts they tell the bad to stop. But thanks for the kind comment ;)

it would have been great if they kept the sirens (1:51) going throughout the battle not the ambulance and whistles lol
