The **Battle of Los Angeles** began on February 24–25, 1942, during World War II, following alarms that unidentified aircraft had appeared over the U.S. West Coast. Despite the U.S. military firing over 1,400 anti-aircraft shells based on radar and eyewitness reports, no objects were shot down. During a period of intense fear regarding Japanese air raids, the entire city was placed under blackout and curfew, and civilian deaths occurred due to falling shrapnel and heart attacks. The following day, U.S. authorities mentioned the possibility of a 'weather balloon or misidentified flares,' but the lack of explanation made it a landmark case for UFO conspiracy theories. It is recorded as an event that demonstrated wartime panic, false alarms, and confusion within air defense systems.
