a few years ago I came across this new article from Wednesday, February 25, 1942 decribing a panc sticken L.A. blacking itself out and firing AA Guns at a U.F.O. There is even a photograph of it.
Anyone else ever hear of this or can discredit it cause I've been trying to find somthing that points to it being fake and cannot.

Wehn I first came across this (don't remember where originally) I could not believe that I hadn't heard of it before...
I also heard somewhere that Steven Spielberg's 1942 movie is based on an actual real false alarm panic that happened in LA. So it seems that SOMETHING happened then...
crazy ****.

Seriously though, I had never heard of this before, but some of the guests on Sightings do make me wonder about Rense's credibility. The last one I remember was something about the flouride in our water being used to control our minds or something. Maybe the fact that I don't believe it means the fluoride is working!

Blackout... anti-air... hmmmn. Not like they had anything to be frightened about. Not like any other port cities had been bombed recently or anything. No national scares going on and what not. Can't make the connection...

sure sure
but it still doesn't explain that fact that people saw something.
That the LA Times reported:
LA TIMES wrote:
The spectacular anti-aircraft barrage came after the 14th Interceptor
Command ordered the blackout when strange craft were reported over the coastline.
Powerful searchlights from countless stations stabbed the sky with brilliant probing
fingers while anti-aircraft batteries dotted the heavens with beautiful, if sinister,
orange bursts of shrapnel.

AND that there was a photograph published with the article:

The caption under photo reads:
"SEEKING OUT OBJECT - Scores of searchlights built a wigwam of
light beams over Los Angeles early yesterday morning during the
alarm. This picture was taken during blackout; shows nine beams
converging on an object in sky in Culver City area. The blobs of
light which show at apex of beam angles were made by anti-
aircraft shells."

Anti-aircraft guns thundered over the metropolitan area early today for the
first time in the war, but hours later what they were shooting at remained a
military secret. An unidentified object moving slowly down the coast from Santa
Monica was variously reported as a balloon and an airplane.....
Observers lent some credence to the blimp theory by pointing out that the object
required nearly thirty minutes to travel 20 or 25 miles-far slower then an airplane.....
another official said no United States craft had taken off because of
possible danger from the army's own anti-aircraft fire.....
Observers said the object appeared to be 8000 ft or higher.
Firing, first heard at 3 a.m., ceased suddenly at 3:30 a.m., after the object
disappeared south of Signal Hill, at the east edge of Long Beach. Anti-aircraft guns
fired steadily for two minute periods, were silent for about 45 seconds, and continued
that routine for nearly a half an hour.

For the record, I have no opinion of this..(you KNOW I believe that all reality is just a complicated hologram anyway, why would I care about UFOs?). I'm just curious as to people response to this.
which only goes to show that most likely if anything like this REALLY did happen.... or something similar.. that most people would indeed have their heads too far up there *** to realize waht was going on.

Mad as a hatter refers to mercury poisoning, as mercury was used in hat making in the olden days. It drives you bonkers, but got damn is it fun to play with. And shiny too!

I respect that
Joe Sixpack down there in 1942 Los Angeles is going to open fire on anything just out of being jumpy.
I see in those photos what looks like could be somthing... or it could be a few beams of light pointed at one another. If I'm an AA gunner, anything that looks like anything is getting some caps busted at it, if you know what I'm saying.

I know waht you're saying.
i find it intersting though that they clearly had this "thing" in all of thier lights and sights... and still apparently hit nothing... in the photo you can see the AA bursts going off around it.... yet reports claim that the thing just moved on out peacfully and unharmed...
not that I'm trying to get people to believe in aliens with this... once again.. I just find this particular event peculiar..
If the government just came out and said that they had an out of control weather balloon... sure.. but even that wouldn't explain the fact that they couldn't shoot it down.. and that they WERE trying to shoot it down...
it is waht it is. a mystery.
