00:03On February 25, 1942, 100,000 people witnessed something in the skies over Los Angeles.
00:10Over 1,400 anti-aircraft rounds were fired by the military, to no effect.
00:16America is at war. Suddenly, a strange craft appears over the beaches at Santa Monica Bay.
00:23Anti-aircraft guns run into action against unidentified aircraft in the Los Angeles area.
00:29Searchlights closely followed the object down the coast and kept it centered in their glare.
00:33The shooting lasted for about half an hour and killed a couple of people.
00:37But the big thing is, they didn't knock a piece off of whatever it was that was up there.
00:42Cells frequently could be seen bursting near the object, but none appeared to hit it.
00:47When it comes to the Battle of Los Angeles, people think, oh, it's all hoopla, it's all hype, it's all
00:52newspaper stuff.
00:54Absolutely not. There are eyewitnesses.
00:57When we first saw it, the object was hanging motionless, almost directly overhead.
01:03In other words, it appeared when I first stepped out the door and looked up, it seemed to be hovering.
01:09How do you protect the fact that this was a craft that our top air defenses couldn't stop?
01:16Well, that's easy. You call it a balloon.
01:19It's hard to imagine that we couldn't have shot a balloon down.
01:22And that was probably the first huge headline-making coverage of a strange object.
01:29There are indications that just in the United States that the U.S. military has counted as many as 4
01:36,000 trace landings of extraterrestrial craft.
01:40These objects have been seen in recorded history.
01:43There's no question that we're being visited by something we don't understand.
01:47The number of settings per month has gone up and it involves technology that goes beyond what we've got.
01:52I do know that aircraft have been scrambled against these objects many, many times all over the world without success.
02:02One of the great questions people have asked me over and over again is, why are they here?
02:08A question that continues to be asked, like in the upcoming film, Battle Los Angeles.
02:13I think some of them may have interest in resources on our planet.
02:17Certainly, that's a very viable scenario, that civilizations from other worlds, which lack certain elements or resources or minerals or
02:26water, might come here to take that.
02:30They're going to take over and not understand the bots. They just want us out.
02:34I think they're very definitely capable of doing a lot of damage.
02:38And I don't think we're prepared.
02:43I think they're very good.
