Just imagine it is only a few weeks after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, when suddenly a huge craft of unknown origin appears over a major city.  The military responds by attacking this unknown craft, while hundreds of thousands of people watch in fear.  It isn't just a story line for a blockbuster movie, it really happened.

On February 25, 1942, about 7 weeks after Pearl Harbor was bombed and paranoia reigned, a huge spaceship appeared over Culver City and Santa Monica, California, along the city limits of L.A..   The Army's bullets and cannon shells were useless against the visitor, though some made direct hits.  Luckily for residents of Los Angeles, this visitor left without attacking back.  Would we be so lucky again?
