For many years I have been an avid reader on the topic of UFO's. In this area I found the incident in 1942 called "The Battle of Los Angeles". Apparently a number of unidentified aircraft approached the coast of California then flew "leisurely" for a while over parts of L.A. One of the things that I learned in reading about it is that a "strange aerodyne" was recovered in waters just of California and one, recovered by the Army, that had crashed in the San Bernardino Mountains. That one that crashed in the SB Mountains is the subject I would love to know more about. Like to know in what general area, at least, that it went down.

If anyone knows more about this let me know. I live in High Desert so am fascinated by the stories of the strange and unusual that have taken place historically and recently in this general area. Don

Yeah, I heard of it. There made a movie about it some time ago:

You're not alone Don. Art Bell had a program on that incident a while ago. Dr. Steven Greer goes into the high desert and his group communicates with those lights in the dky.
Are you familiar with George Adamski? You can watch his 1950's videos online. Great stuff.
Figures we'd try and shoot them down. We're so smart, right? Like you, I'd like to learn more about that incident.

I have lived in the high desert in the Lancaster Rosamond area most of my life. very strange things going on in the sky out here. Some ours.Some? the subject that you're looking for as much controversy around it. don't let that deter your search. I am a US air Force veteran. that I have served at a let's scramble Jets to Chase unidentified on more than one occasion. I am convinced there for real. universe is too damn big not to have the other life out there. if there is life out there seems like an awful waste of space.

Now that forces have officially admitted they exist, some interesting 'new' material may become de-classified, or less redacted.
Go digging.

Those lights in the sky actually listen to you, they take notice, and rarely respond to prompting, but sometimes do. Camping in the desert, 3 of us said "show us", after seeing several flashes above us, and 5 well separated lights blinked consecutively in a circle. We couldn't believe it.

Something is up there, as seen by the new radars. NASA remains quiet.
