Battle Of L.A: UFO Diary Re-Creates Los Angeles Alien Invasion 1942

Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the sighting

For all UFO enthusiast and UFOologists alike, today is the 73rd anniversary of the Battle Of Los Angeles otherwise known as The Great LA Air raid, which has gone down history as the most mysterious events of World War II.

Back in 1942 on this very day, Los Angeles was panic stricken by an invasion of what was believed to be a Japanese aircraft hovering over the city. The US army reacted by firing 1400 shells into the skies but to no avail, no aircraft was ever recovered.

Nobody really knew what they had just seen, there was no evidence of downed craft, there where some explanations that centred around weather balloons, but that would have been feasible if there had been material of that kind recovered.

The other explanation was that it could well have been ships of extraterrestrial origin. In the original Times photograph, the picture show glowing round spheres hovering int he night sky, the incident ignited the Americas first ever UFO sighting by mass public eyes, and this was even before the 1947 Roswell crash.

Nick Pope, Ex employee British Government's Ministry of Defence told Neon Nettle: "Believers think this was nothing short of an alien invasion, while skeptics say it was a combination of mass hysteria and war nerves, with people shooting at balloons. Whatever the truth, it shows that people can and do see and film UFOs not just in remote areas, but over major cities".

Amazingly, since the sighting all those years back, there is still no rational explanation. To mark the anniversary, the UFO world have been treated to a trailer for the UFO Diary today. The Full version of UFO Diary is set to be released soon and will feature special effects from Antony Vannapho (The Twilight Saga), Kiel Figgins (Avengers: Age of Ultron) Sean Dollins (Prometheus), Rini Sugianto (The Hunger Games), Delano Athias (Polis), Bren Wilson (Paradise Lost) and many others.

The question still remains, however, did a UFO(s) really hover above Los Angeles all those years ago? Its is something to think about.
