I can’t remember the name of the incident, but back in the 1950s I believe our military in Southern California lit up a UFO with spotlights, and did fire weapons at it.
I’m SURE someone on the thread can provide the name of the incident I’m thinking of.
I’ve also heard that many people who come face-to-face with these things are so shocked that they can’t react. (Whether that’s pure fear, or something in the “aliens” arsenal remains to be seen). I happen to think this is the same reason we don’t have any “Close-up” photos.
It was the Los Angeles mass sightings that included anti-aircraft fire on our part as well as planes launched against them.
I forget the year.
Maybe Dave or DC Patriot will recall better.
