Everything Is Real, Episode 32: The Battle Over LA Was Real, And The Aliens Won

What happens when you shoot a UFO 1,400 times and it flies off without complaint, in front of thousands of onlookers? The Battle Of LA took place in 1942, and reveals the bizarre nature of unidentified aerial phenomena. We give you the evidence, including a strikingly similar case from over 400 years ago, and let you decide whether or not it was “just a weather balloon.”
