As the LA Times reported: On Feb. 25, 1942: Searchlights converge on an unknown object in the skies over Los Angeles. During the early morning air-raid alert, more than 1,400 anti-aircraft shells are fired.

The incident, now referred to as the Battle of L.A., occurred less than three months after the Pearl Harbor attack and two days after a Japanese submarine shelled an oil facility near Santa Barbara.

The next day, on Feb. 26, The Times published a photo page.

Thousands of people saw this event.

How could anyone not notice 1,400 artillery shells and searchlights...

This was not a Fake Incident like the Gulf of Tonkin. This was not like Pearl Harbor where we had Advance Warning that The Japanese were going to bomb Hawaii. This was not like when we had 'Intelligence' Reports predicting that Osama bin Laden was going to attack the USA... There were No Emergency Evacuation Drills like The National Reconnaissance Office had on 9/11/2001 to practice what to do if someone flew an airplane into their building. There were no mysteries like how the BBC knew in advance that WTC7 was going to collapse.

Colorful Alien Friends

Great TV Show: Ancient Aliens... Based on the Book "Chariots of the Gods?" by Erich von Daniken... This Show really makes me think they might be right... we have been visited by ExtraTerrestrials in the distant past... and RECENTLY TOO!

Fake Animation of a UFO Flying out of the Water
at Trinidad, California

What I really like is watching many episodes in a row... It puts me in a Hypnotic Trance... So Far I have not contacted any Aliens Myself but... one time I was driving home from work in Northern Virginia and I saw TWO Lights in the Sky at Sunset... I chased the lights and when I got near , I got out of the car and... Heard the motorcycle engine... so disappointing... someone had installed a propeller and an engine to a hang glider and what I saw was two automobile headlights.

One of my co-workers' Father saw a UFO. He worked as a pilot and reported an unidentifiable object in the sky... he filed a report with the FAA and they filed the report... and... nothing happened. I assume that there are thousands of reports... but... what can anyone really do about them?

On the TV News I saw a real ufo as viewed on the cockpit display and... millions of people saw that report... but... once again, nothing really happened... no mass panic...

https://www.history.com/shows/ancient-aliens Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the US, each episode in this hit HISTORY series gives historic depth to the questions, speculations, provocative controversies, first-hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding this age old debate. Did intelligent beings from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago?

Science Fiction Themes in Rock Music Lyrics: Wooden Ships, After the Gold Rush, Longer Boats are coming.

It is very difficult to write a song about UFOs or a Post Apocalypse Techno Industrial Wasteland but Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Bowie and Paul Kantner have done it well.

What are those songs about anyway? Some lyrics have been debated for decades... here is my interpretation.

Wooden Ships tells the story of two people from opposite sides of a war that become friends and survive due to cooperation. After an Atomic War, food is often radioactive... so the sharing of purple berries makes the difference... the survival of the human race. Lucky for us, this song was recorded by BOTH the Jefferson Airplane and Crosby Stills and Nash. Done during the time they all worked in the Mansion on Fulton Street. The house had a recording studio in the basement... and was THE SCENE.

After the Gold Rush is about putting people on ships to colonize space. Still a worthy goal.

So is Longer Boats. (UFOs).

Pentagon Rainbow

MKULTRA: was a CIA Mind Control Project in the USA during the 1950's and 1960's. They were looking for a way to use drugs as weapons of war. For example: LSD as a truth serum to aid in interrogation or as a way to simply get the "enemy" to lay down their arms, voluntarily... like, too stoned to fight...

The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey, Stewart Brand and Robert Hunter all volunteered to eat LSD and other mind control drugs and report on the effects. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead.

Stewart Wrote "The Whole Earth Catalog" - Well, THAT Was Different...

Just co-incidence?
or were "the sixties"
a CIA experiment to just see what happens if MILLIONS of people took LSD?

MKULTRA
The CIA Mind Control Experiment
That Escaped the Laboratory and
Got out on the Dance Floor!

Here is a Bit of American History You were not Taught at School...

Mary Pinchot Meyer gave LSD to JFK and then he decided to end the Vietnam War in 1963. Defense Contractors had him assassinated to protect their profits. Mary was a girlfriend of JFK and she was part of a movement to give LSD to the Leaders of the World.

The top scientists, business leaders, artists, poets, actors, politicians, writers, musicians and athletes were to be given LSD and then they would use what they learned to rebuild society. The cosmic knowledge was to be distributed from the top down in order to create a better world.

We will never know if this is true or Just a Conspiracy Theory... Mary did keep a diary and right after she was assassinated, her friend Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee took the diary to The CIA and they BURNED IT!

I remember Baltimore. It has a Super Inner Harbor District. Intentionally designed to be a Wonderful Tourist Destination. The Architect was the same man who designed Columbia, Maryland. Where we first lived when we moved to Washington DC.

The Baltimore Aquarium has a Glass Covered Terrarium on the top floor. This is especially interesting in Winter... The Terrarium is Warm and Simulates a Tropical Paradise. Quite a contrast on a Snowy Day. They also have a shark pool. I enjoyed the Endless Mirror Escalator. By placing parallel mirrors on both sides of an escalator the reflections go off into infinity. There was also a super Touristy Amusement Park dedicated to Phileas Fogg. The Man who went around the World in 80 Days. Actually, I found it a Lame imitation of Disneyland. We went in the Late 1970s and I doubt that it is still there... There was also a Science Museum and a Giant Farmers Market/Crafts Shop/Barn. Selling fresh fish, hand made Amish Furniture and Quilts and Many Restaurants...

Drawing of the Baltimore Inner Harbor

I remember Working in Baltimore. I was a Draftsman who was assigned jobs from an Temporary Employment Agency. We were assigned to Measure Ancient Townhouses and Draw Floor plans for an Architect that bought abandoned Buildings from the City. His deal was that he would buy the building for a Dollar and then had to put $20,000 worth of repairs into it. SO, he needed accurate floor plans and reports about the safety of staircases etc etc etc... We Went in teams of Three Men. One man to hold each end of the Tape Measure and one man to watch the Truck. This part of town had a Lot of Homeless people standing around barrels burning lumber that they had removed from abandoned buildings. In General, those squatters were not happy about Gentrification. So the guy who watched the truck was a Black Man... Needed to Talk to the Locals. When we finished the Construction work, they would no longer be able to Live in those abandoned Buildings.

There is a Museum at Fort McHenry where Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner song. As you drive over Key Bridge I got a view of the abandoned Sparrows Point Steel Mill. It is a vast industrial complex that was owned at one time by Bethlehem Steel. Boats would come up the Chesapeake Bay loaded with Iron Ore and Coal. The soil was dark grey/brown... A reminder of times of long ago. https://www.nps.gov/fomc/index.htm

I had another Job at Ward Machinery in Towson, Maryland. That's a Suburb of Baltimore on the North Side. I drove to work during the winter and THAT was a very scary commute. Ice and Snow on the Beltway... I kept on singing the Beach Boys song "Don't Worry Baby" to calm myself down on the way to the Factory. I worked in the drafting department drawing wiring diagrams for the custom installations of Cardboard Box Manufacturing Machines. One Day, the Atomic Power Plant called Three Mile Island had an Accident. The man who sat at the next desk was a Nuclear Engineer and he said. "Don't worry, it takes about ten things to go wrong simultaneously to have a real problem... and we are at about eight!" and then he left. We were about 50 miles away. I do not believe we were Nuked... This was a Real industrial machine factory and an eye opener for a Silicon Valley Draftsman. Giant riding drill presses and big dark rooms for punching metal. They made "Crown" Rollers to hold conveyor belts. These were cylinders of aluminum that were slightly wider at a few locations. The Crown. Belts will ride towards the crown when rotating... Who Knew?

We went dancing at a Disco in Downtown Baltimore. It was called Girard's and had colored flashing lights. and extremely LOUD Disco Music that played Forever. Truly a Disco just like you see in The Movie "Saturday Night Fever." We also went to another Disco in the Suburbs called Reflections that had a flashing Light Floor. This was in the Late 1970s and I feel certain that those places are gone but they are replaced with whatever kids do today. My Wife was working at the NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland and we went to Parties and Clubs with Women from Work. All recent college graduates who had just gotten their first real job and were hunting for husbands. Right next door was Westinghouse Defense Systems and that business employed many Men who were Engineers. A match made in Disco Heaven...

We went to an Outdoor Bar BQ Party at a place on the Chesapeake Bay Upstream from Baltimore. The water is Mostly fresh but some ocean water is mixed in... depending on the tides... We all went swimming... I remember that the Cook made Vast quantities of Chicken but it was Not Cooked enough... still red inside but we were too polite to complain... I wanted to complain but my wife asked me not to...

We also went to a Halloween Party and I went as an Ax Murderer (with my real ax) and My Wife went as a Victim with a Split Skull Mask. We were covered with fake blood and... surprise, surprise the other people at the party were scared of me. I forget that they might be concerned about a drunk giant with an ax. Those were fun times... The next year I went as the Jolly Green Giant from the canned vegetables advertisements... much more fun...

We went to a Grateful Dead Concert at the Baltimore Civic Center. This was at a Time when the Dead were not all that popular and so they were not playing the really big Stadium Shows that I went to Later. I got in a fender bender accident after the concert because I put the gear shift into forward instead of reverse... OOPS... I gave the other drive $50 and My wife drove us home. Too much Booze... I had another Car accident during rush hour one day. I was leaving Ward Machinery and was going to pick up my wife at Fort Meade. Since I was North of Baltimore and She was South, I decided to take the freeway to the center of town, drive around downtown, and then find the freeway heading South out of town. Bad Plan because I got lost downtown and was in a hurry and then... I saw the freeway entrance, made a quick left hand turn from the right hand lane and CRASH a car from my blind spot hit me. We exchanged Insurance info, talked to a Policeman and Drove Away Unhurt... Just a bit of Bodywork needed to be done. In retrospect, driving around the beltway, while longer geographically, was shorter in time... than going straight thru town...

I remember much later, there was an ENERGY CRISIS. People were sold Gasoline on alternate Days... and There were long lines at Gas Stations... It was all a Fake Crisis. I saw about a DOZEN BOATS parked in the Chesapeake Bay filled with Gas... but they DID NOT park at the Baltimore Harbor... For some unknown reason, the people that own the Gas Stations just stopped delivering gas... I guess they got what they wanted and so, surprise, surprise there was PLENTY OF GASOLINE...

My cousin Dian and her husband Dick Kryniki lived in Towson and they were slightly older than us and they had three teenage boys. John, Ken and Steve. When we visited we were put in the middle of the family fight as Referees... Total Generation Gap Troubles. One of the Teenagers grew up to be a Professional Artist. After he left home he squatted in an abandoned building in downtown Baltimore at an ARTISTS COMMUNE... Sounds like fun but I don't know how they survived during the Winter.

My Cousin Dian Recommended that we move to Columbia, Maryland when we moved from Santa Clara... Excellent advice. The Year We lived there was wonderful. I went to Howard Community College studying Computer Programming and Jo-Ann was Studying how to Transcribe Russian telephone calls for the NSA. Sadly, she had the desire to BUY a Condo in Oxon Hill, Maryland and we left. Bad Move. The price was low because most of the neighbors were black. SO... we chose the low price... an Identical Condo in a white neighborhood cost about 25% more... I didn't really care id the family next door was black... it wasn't until I tried to SEEL that condo that I understood... By That time the neighborhood had gone CRACK CRAZY and there was gunfire at night... Everyone that bought a condo there lost money because they were unsellable... anyway, I simply refused to pay the mortgage for three months and the bank HAD to take it...

In General, I hated the Winter... Since I'm from California, I Can't Imagine why people would tolerate Snow... I Didn't... So I Left.

In General, Baltimore is an Interesting OLD City. Founded before the American Revolution it has Historical Significance... and it is a step backwards in time to the Industrial Revolution Steel Mill Days...
