6th Annual Great Los Angeles Air Raid Reenactment (2/23/08)

This is video of the 6th Annual Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 Reenactment at fort McArthur in San Pedro, CA.

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.

couldnt the object have been one of the japanese balloons carrying bombs that used some wind current to carry the balloons over to america, i think the balloons were timed some how to fall over america, i think like 3 people died from these bombs, this is just what i can remember from some documentry about wind currents or something sorry if this is vague

Great FS500AT. To my knowledge, they were produced in the 1950's. So Los Angeles wouldn't have had them in 1942, although they did later on. Anyway, great video.
