UFOs- The Battle of Los Angeles (You Tube)

This part uses part of the radio broadcast describing what had happened.

The photo taken by the paper.

I traced the brightest area (and my Photoshop skills at this are not very good, admittedly), then colored in the result. The object has the appearance of a UFO. I'm not saying it necessarily IS a UFO; it just has the appearance of one.

A negative of the same image, and again the object seems to be fairly distinct.

Whoever is speaking says the Army explained it as a weather balloon, which brings up the problem of how could the military actually miss a weather balloon if they fired some 1500 rounds at it, especially considering that the rounds would explode and send shrapnel flying around which would definitely puncture any balloon.

He also points out that his is before UFOs became a common topic; indeed, that wasn't really until around 1947, five years later.

The attack on Pearl Harbor.
