You are the best LEMMINO!!
Whatever happened, someone definitely got fired.

Fired at, you mean
I feel like this is a classic case of pure fear, 3am, soldiers are tired and scared of an attack. If you look up on a dark night with no lighting around it's not hard to see things that aren't there
@秘 SYREX 秘 Hey, want to let you know that America isn't the only country that speaks English. Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day! 🙏😁😁
With zero city lights, and the moon at waxing gibbous (just over half full) it would have been fairly easy to see that night.
@秘 SYREX 秘 you gotta work on that grammer my man
THAT many soldiers?
@MrcabooseVG Geez! You've watched the video and you've decided to make such comment? How people like you don't forget to breathe?
There WAS something in the sky and there's no doubt in that. It's just no one could conclude what it was.

Hitting objects with anti-aircraft shells back in the day was extremely hard. Proximity fuses (which would explode on proximity to an object and thus make getting a hit easier) were still in development in this stage and highly classified.
Still, the sheer amount of daka would’ve definitely destroyed at least a single target. Think of german AA in the late war. With failing equipment, starved and inexperienced soldiers, AA still downed huge numbers of bombers and fighters.

False alarm, they weren't weird lights. The blackout just allowed LA to see stars for the first time

okay this is gold
So, i actually think this was in another lemmino video but this thing happened recently, when they had a blackout in LA people reported strange dots in the sky to the police; it was the first time theyd ever seen the milky way
@@whocares8567 holy shit that's really sad
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.
My grandmother was 2 years old and living in Los Angeles at the time of the “battle”, and although she doesn’t remember it, my great grandmother was always skeptical of it due to her hearing no planes whatsoever. It would have been so cool to talk to her about it and get a first hand account of what happened that strange night

Greetings,
I agree. The report was objective and well reported. Fine presentation. Your acknowledged correction will also keep you in good stead with your public. Keep up the good work LEMMiNO!!!
It's also not true that there was mass panic about a Japanese invasion of the US mainland, so maybe there will be a correction. The Japanese never had anything close to the capabilities of landing troops on the West Coast, and articles from after Pearl Harbor, interviews, vox pops, opinion polls, etc., reflect that very few people were seriously worried about a Japanese invasion (for good reason).

It is known that the Japanese had a better understanding of air currents than the US did, and used balloons with timer-released bombs released from Japan to attack the US mainland. Most just floated over forests on the west coast and did no damage. Some downed balloons were recovered in Oregon.
True, but the first flight of such a weapon was in 1944, this incident above LA happened in early 1942.

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.
Never stop doing this man I love your channel soo much
Aliens just came to borrow some materials then got greeted with a barrage of bullets. They never came back and told the entire neighborhood, we were a bad neighbor

If it was a slow-moving target visible to the naked eye, hours of anti-aircraft shells would have definitely landed solid hits, especially with the increased armament due to wartime concerns. As such, either it was somethings that could withstand such hits, or, as occum's razor would suggest, it was nothing.
If it was visible to the naked eye they would’ve seen it was a balloon and not fired at it
or they were crap shots.

11:28 1400 rounds for one target is surprisingly common, this early in the war and in los Angeles with AAA crews with little training. I'd be surprised if they could hit anything, let alone a balloon which they had not trained for.
In the 90s 2 Canadian f-18s dumped over 1000 rounds into a rough weather balloon. It still floated perfectly fine, the explosive ammo just ripped through, they didn't explode. In this case AAA explodes after a certain time, which was probably set wrong by a untrained ground crew
While the subject may not have been as interesting as other videos, the video was executed perfectly. I could watch (and enjoy) a video on butterflies as long as you made it. Personally, my favorite videos of yours are "Cicada 3301: An Internet Mystery" and "The Dyatlov Pass Case".

Do you honestly believe that a race advanced enough to travel the stars are going to be concerned or affected by our triple A fire? Hmmmm...
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.
@@sayhallo3769 i did not consider that holy shit, you two are smart
@@sayhallo3769 I assume that most of that pressure just pushed the balloon around. Also the pressure from small AA fire is not huge and given that not an awful lot exploded near the balloon (probably) it's quite likely that it didn't have a huge effect
@@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.
@@Palgineer Standard American AA batteries were before the war ramped up were 40mm "Chicago Pianos", 127mm HE guns, as well as many small arms fire like 20mm oerlikons. Depending on the size of the balloon, a single near miss 40mm or 127mm would likely cause it to rupture and pop.
*balloon flies over city*
Army: So, you have chosen death.
Balloon: Your AA fire is nothing! Bow before me mortals!
AA guns: we'll turn you into scrap punk!! OPEN FIRE!, ALL WEAPONS, CRY HAVOC AND LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!!!!
Balloon: jeez, a little hardcore aren't we??
@@LalitKumar-cu5iu AA Guns: we counted on balloon to be passive...we counted wrong

I just imagine the army looking at the “balloon”
“Sir. They’re here.”
“I see”
*looks out the window*
“So, you have chosen death.
There’s nothing I can do for you now
Officer-it’s a balloon
Army man- did you just say enemy zeppelin?
Officer-no it’s a bal-
Army man- FIRE!!!
"army man", are we playing with toys
Blimps are balloons zeppelins are not the japanese also didn’t use zeppelins the nazis did
@@jennyfisher3765 you mean the Germans? Not every single German in ww2 was a raging Nazi, most weren't.
Fids Vids I’m not stupid. The zeppelin was invented by NAZIS.
@@jennyfisher3765 ok but you said it was "used by the Nazis".
The aliens decided to talk to us during our largest war in history, and on one of the most protected city’s on the west coast, at night.
🤣😂
...high five!
I dont think they are very smart aliens
Or maybe they didn’t know we were at war
@@starmada105 They must do research first then visit or this happens
I've always thought it was obvious that the photo just shows the confluence of multiple searchlights. You can see that when just two beams cross, the diamond shaped part where they intersect is brighter. Now make six or seven from lights arranged in a circle, and you end up with a single super bright blob with multiple angular edges.
Indeed, I've dome exactly this with modern lights for concerts
Same time next year then lads?
Loll yupp pretty much dude. Guess we will see him for the top 10 2019 facts video
Dude's the Jontron of educational channels lol
Pigdem why is he going??
Learn math man it wasant 1 year ago it was only 3 months ago when you heard hes voice.
Yep
General: Hold your fire.
Artillery: SOMEONE SAID FIRE!!!

I love how an amateur channel (Top 10 memes) became a top notch quality channel (Lemmino)
John Wayne Lee This channel used to be called Top 10 memes?
Yep. He even references it when he uses it as an example.
"Much like my old channel name, it was mistake."
and unlike other youtubers, the maturity he achieved lowered his upload frequency. He used to upload twice a month once (as I recall). Now we get one in 2 month if we are lucky...

Quality over quantity in this case.
Wasnt it "Top 10 facts"? And he just made a top 10 video about memes
