Hi Brian,

Pages 15-17 of Timothy Goods book Above Top Secret describe what
has been called the Los Angeles Air Raid February 25, 1942.

Interesting aspects of this incident are:

1) other than George Marshall's vague memo to my knowledge no
other information on this incident has been declassified.

2) the picture is quite interesting because what is outlined in
the searchlight beams is not at globed shaped UFO but a large
triangular shaped object judging from the picture in the book on
pp 193.

3) The LA Times has a research service which will obtain the
original articles for a research fee.  Contact them via their web
site.
