What really happened during the so-called "Battle of Los Angeles" in 1942?

Answer 1

The West coast air raid, sometimes referred to as the Los Angeles air raid, Los Angeles Air Alarm or the battle of Los Angeles, was 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.
