Steven Speilberg later directed Back to the Future, one of the funniest and most successful comedies of all time. Incidently, the film was about science fiction: time travel. Maybe Doc Brown and Marty McFly were in the UFO above LA in 1942?

This one is the web site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion. Good information on the event without UFO or other such shineola. http://www.skylighters.org/4thaac/battleoflosangeles.html

This has some possible video of the night. It is the usual UFO stuff associated with it, but worth the visit for the video. http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=152191
You do need to forward to 4:50 for the footage. Otherwise you get a good dose of UFO, hidden critters, and such.

Enjoy.”

I’ve never heard of this incident and I’m skeptical of Wiki as a primary resource. I can’t find much else about it except on wacko UFO sites.”

No? Fine then!

Just as I had dismissed the idea of E.Ts, my curiousity has been ignited once again.

it is known that our sun is a relatively new star when compared to other stars so therefore our solar system is relatively new and therefore life on our planet has not been going on for so long.

if you consider how much technological progress mankind has made in the last 150 years or so and then consider that life on other worlds may have been present for MILLIONS or even BILLIONS of years longer than on our own then it does not seem so far-fetched that other civilizations may well possess the technology to travel between stars – well does it?
