Subject: The 'Battle of Los Angeles' - Redux


On the last day of 1998, Jan Aldrich brought this thread to a
close by with the remark:

"Basically, they were probably firing at their own
meteorological balloon."

Peter Brookesmith gave the distinct impression of a nod of
approval at this analysis.

Jan went on to caution:

"The incident is more complex than just one Met. balloon. Some
documents are still not available."

On one of my mailing lists, skepticism is being expressed that a
searchlight-illumined weather balloon could be subjected to, as
Larry Hatch put it, "1430 Anti-Aircraft shells (and who knows
what else)... to no effect."

Does anyone have explanation for this?
