In late February in 1942, air watchemen sighted what they thought were Japanese aircraft over Los Angeles. They began to fire the anti-air guns to shoot down whatever they saw.

The Government maintains that it was likely people on edge, shooting at a weather balloon.

What else could it have been? Was there a government cover up?

What do you think?

The Balloon Bombs that Japan was attempting to send over during that time, maybe?

Wasn't there a movie about this? 1941, I think, I haven't seen it.

Charlie, there is actually a picture of what they were shooting at. Hold on, let me look for it.

What about the bombs the Japanese sent through the Jetstream that we blamed on the Canadians? I remember hearing about this on History or Discovery channel a while ago.

Those were Japanese balloons that were released in 1945 to try and burn down our forests on the west coast, and cause some damage around the coast.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

The Japanese planes hardly had enough fuel to reach Hawaii from their aircraft carriers. And you think they were able to reach L.A.? From where?
