The Battle of Los Angeles
All-out warfare never made it to the continental United States during World War II. Or did it? The Battle of Los Angeles happened on Feb. 24, 1942, but it’s still a mystery whether it was the work of Axis forces or something else. Beginning at 3 a.m., the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade started shelling targets in the sky, but no enemy units were ever identified. Three people were killed by friendly fire, and many buildings were leveled. The Army at the time attributed the attack to “war nerves,” but there are tons of conspiracy theories around the battle, including some alleging that UFOs prompted the attack.
