MENORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following is the information we have from GHQ
|
||
|
|
at this mement regarding the air alarm over Los Angeles of
|
||
|
|
yesterday morning:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"From details available at this hour:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Unidentified airplanes, other then American
|
||
|
|
Army or Navy planes, were probably over Los Angeles, and
|
||
|
|
were fired on by elements of the 37th CA Brigade ( AA )
|
||
|
|
between 3:12 and 4:15 AM. These units expended 1430
|
||
|
|
rounds of ammunition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. As many as fifteen airplanes may have
|
||
|
|
been involved, flying at various speeds from what is
|
||
|
|
officially reported as being very slow to as much
|
||
|
|
as 200 MPH and at elevations from 9000 to 18000 feet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. No bombs were dropped.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. No casualties among our troops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. No planes were shot down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. No American Army or Navy planes were in action.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Investigation continuing. It seems reasonable to conclude
|
||
|
|
that if unidentified airplanes were involved they may have
|
||
|
|
been from commercial sources, operated by enemy agents for
|
||
|
|
purposes of spreeding alarm, disclosing location of antiair-
|
||
|
|
craft positions, and slowing production through blackout.
|
||
|
|
Such conclusion is supported by varying speed of operation and
|
||
|
|
the fact that no bombs were dropped.
