Anti-Aircraft Guns Rout Object Over Los Angeles
The Los Angeles area woke to anti-aircraft fire early today as guns pounded the sky for the first time in the war. An unidentified object moving slowly down the coast from Santa Monica prompted reports of a balloon or airplane, while some observers claimed planes over Long Beach. Army intelligence offered no comment and reports of 200 planes were dismissed. The western defense command said no bombs were dropped and no planes shot down as cities were blacked out at 2:25 am. All-clear came at 7:21 am. Authorities investigated three Japanese men near Venice for signaling from a pier, and pilots possibly seen over the harbor area were uncertain. The object traveled 20 to 25 miles in about 30 minutes, slower than a plane, and ground observers noted intense spotlighting and anti-aircraft fire until the object disappeared south of Signal Hill.

The committee said it could not size private construction without word on available materials and contracted needs, but believed private builders might supply about 1,500 units in 1942 if materials were available. Roger B. Kelley chaired the meeting.
