      Hahaha, well as a matter fact the blackout was an effort to conceal the city so in case of an invasion that could help protect heavily populated areas or even make the invaders to not know if the hay arrived or not, also the lumminic contamination of a city would make it difficult for the army to know what to shoot at.

    It may seem like an impossibility for balloons to survive the intense AA fire, however there are 2 things to consider:
    1) According to a British research published in 2003, during the Battle of Britain, it took over 20,000 rounds of AA fire to shoot down 1 aircraft. This was because there were only 3 ways to shoot down an aircraft - hitting directly, using a timer fuze to detonate and using a fuze that detonate at a specific altitude. All 3 were very inaccurate (especially at night) such that some claim the actual number of AA rounds to shot down 1 aircraft was more than 100,000 rounds. All this changed when the Allies in 1943 started using...
    2) VT fuze (proximity fuse) which was able to detect (using radio waves reflected from target) its proximity to the target and detonate at the closest range. All this before integrated circuits or digital processors were invented. This device was so secret it was not declassified until 1954. An example of how effective the VT fuze is, when the US first tested the VT fuze they had planned for the test to last 2 days where the new fuze were to be used against 3 radio controlled drones. All 3 drones were destroyed on the first day with only 4 shots.
    During the Battle of Los Angeles, the US had no VT fuze and fired approximately 1,400 AA rounds, so it is well within the realm of possibility for the balloons to escape damage.

      But there is also the pressure waves of a shell exploding. You make good points for shooting down an aircraft made of wood or metal but a balloon would likely shatter after an hour of shelling due to the intense pressure forcing the air inside the balloon around.

    • @Palgineer
      @Palgineer Před 4 měsíci

      ⁠@@sayhallo3769True, but it could also be that the composition of shells wasn’t able to cause shockwaves that big. Depending on the AA guns used, these could range anywhere from 20mm Oerlikons and 40mm Bofors to 90mm m1s firing from all around LA. This mix of smaller and large calibers may have simply not caused large enough explosions at a common enough time. Another possibility is mixing AP and HE shells; AP shells don’t have the same explosive filler as HE shells and would cause less destructive explosions as they went off. This would count for the massive quantity of shells as well as the inability to shoot down the balloon.

    The photographs of the event are night photos, which means that they were long exposure pictures. So, the "object" that people see in the spotlights, was just a blob of distorted light from a long film exposure that is needed to capture night photography. This is a fun mystery that I've been interested in for years, but the reality is, that if an object of any kind was truly lit up with those large lights, many more people would have clearly seen it, and there would've been far more certain reports than the vague reports that actually came in. Some saw planes, some balloons, others a blimp, some more saw bag shaped objects, but most saw nothing. This event is lost to time, and the true series of events that created it will never be known, but it was most likely misunderstandings, miscommunications, misidentifying, and fear. And, once the first shells were fired, it exasperated the entire situation.

      No one saw me, and I saw no one standing out in underwear, cuz i slept thru it.

    Weather balloons are often made of synthetic material, and the air inside can wobble along with the wind around it, so it is well possible that this isn't picked up by the radar at all (especially with older, less-precise radar technology). Also, the metal equipment is much more likely to be a bright spot on the radar, but is probably too small to be distinguished from noise, or existing debris of things that are being shot at it. I think whatever the radar reading are, they would be worthless.

      @@SirDankleberry To assume they dont exist at least somewhere at this point is actually idiotic. It shows a distinct lack of understanding of the size and scale of the universe. Once you have even a fuzzy picture of how big and old the universe is, to assume humans are somehow so fucking special we are the only intelligent life ever, is so egocentric its disgusting. Little green men flying in our skies? Maybe not. Humans being the special first intelligent life? Ha ha ha. No.

    In 1944, Japan did release balloons armed with bombs into natural wind currents. A small number successfully made it to the West Coast. The attack killed a group of children in Oregon who were on a church picnic and were curious about the strange object that had landed in woods. Some of these balloons could still be in the backcountry of the West Coast, still able to detonate.
