At 0007 on 26 July 1943, a US flying boat reported a contact with 7 ships 320km south west of Attu, on of the Aleutian islands. American warships patrolling off Kiska, which was occupied by the Japanese, went to investigate. They too, picked up radar contact and, thinking it was an enemy convoy bound for Kiska, engaged it.<br /><br />A total of 1000 shells were fired, the wakes of torpedoes were sighted, and flares and lights reported. Below decks men felt the 'shock' of imagined near misses and one had a battle induced nervous breakdown. While the 'battle' was raging the Japanese evacuated Kiska undisturbed and it was dawn before the radar targets were identified as return echoes from mountains more than 160km away".<br /><br />At least, MJ12 (Moore false) documents have forgotten to decontextualize this episode of WII false alarm, as they did for L.A. False Alarm becomed UFO case in the 80's.<br /><br />;)<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Gilles F.Gilles Fernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128214022795566635noreply@blogger.com
