Hello everyone,

I don't have much time now, but thanks for the info. I'll respond as soon as I'm able. I'm on a library internet connection, while I'm here trying to get a library card (my old one isn't valid anymore apparently).

I managed to get pretty far on the AA Battery map, so I thought I would post it so that we can begin to fact check the results so far.

I think it's important that we don't come to any 'solid' conclusions until we've verified that these points are the only places where AA Batteries were located in Feb. of '42.

I encourage all interested to check my research. These points are approximations only, based on Google's resources (props to google maps!).

Let's make sure we've got every point of reference plotted, but already the map is interesting. Without further ado, here it is:


Source (even though ATS formatting does that for me :
img165.imageshack.us...

If you want to see the whole map, click on it, then click in the bottom right corner of the image for it to load in large size.

For best viewing, save the photo and open it up in MS Paint, Photoshop, CS2, (substitute your favorite image analysis program here)...

I believe that my one missing point of reference, Rocky Point Battery, is located in Long Beach, but I haven't been able to verify that, and from what I've read it appears to be along the coast to the west of Long Beach.

Also of note, I only used the source earlier (See: YOU HIT THE JACKPOT!!!) posted, and also included the point witnessed in this thread, the Riverside Battery (Approximation only).

Be ASSURED that I will be constantly updating this map, and posting a link to the current image here, based upon new information posted in this thread.

Thank everyone for their ideas and research, I'll be back when I have more time to comment

HI M4TX7, thanks for your ideas, I still think it's a little early to determine which locations the lights in the picture depict.

We do not yet know the locations of every Battery, for certain, we should look for further sources, and plot them all against the map.

Also, I don't agree that the areas S and SW of Culver City are completely flat. I was just driving on the 10 yesterday (above Culver City) while thinking about this, and noticed several smaller mountain ranges in that direction. I looked on the Google terrain maps too, and it does look like there is nothing of interest down there, but from the ground it looks different, and this picture (I'm assuming) was taken from the ground. Those mountains might seriously just be hills.

Also, we must remember the estimates given in regards to the searchlight data posted in this thread. There must be a distance limit for how far away you can see searchlights from. 35 miles was one approximation. We need to know for sure. Then we can draw a radius circle from Culver City and really figure out WHICH 9 searchlights we're looking at.

Don't get me wrong, you could be 100% correct, and I'm willing to agree if I can see more evidence. As of now though, we don't have enough to go on. I encourage ALL to keep at this mystery. Further data will give us our answers.

I'll be at this in my offline time also, be assured It's got my full attention. I won't be online again (I don't think) until tomorrow, but I'll post what I've learned then.

On another note, I got my library card renewed, and will be making a lengthy trip some time in the next few weeks. A very nice librarian told me that I can find the Microfiche I'm looking for at the Downtown Branch on 5th st. Also she instructed me on how to use their online library. It's amazing, and it's at:
www.lapl.org...

They have transcripts online going back to the 1880's from several newspaper databases. I'll be looking over the next week for transcript sources for the articles we already know about.

Anybody who wants to help with this aspect of the research is more than welcome.

Thanks everyone for your hard work and your patience, every time I come back to this thread I get more and more excited!

Hey, i just got great plan what just came in my mind when i was thinking your text at they want these things silence.

Are you interested making with me worldwide video channel of Ufo sightings, E.T people and with these documents what are here? Everyone can help with this so this will get worldwide diplomacy with e.t people coming more faster done. This is genious and amazing idea.

I tell little about from this video channel. We put it to internet so everyone can look it, we can put site different languages so everyone can read it, i can translate site to my language if other one hasn't done it yet and other country translates it their language, so we get multilanguage site but first one what language we do it is english. Ok let's go forward, we have now site but idea is still in hidden, so what we need to this is "People". We have line there where people can give their time so that person from his ip can join to that time if its free, but important thing is at because usually news coming end so quickly and Ufo experts not can talk much so we need that kind system there at people can give time how long they talk and when they start if that time is free. But we do that kind system there too at if someone thought at he/she will talk that long but didn't talk, so after he/she leaves, other one can start talk from his experience of ufo sightings or E.T or something this like.

What people need to join there to talk their own ufo experience or E.T thing or something. Microphone and webcamera.

These was basics to start, we can change the system because i see some of this my text something what we could change but i told now basics of it so "Anyone interested to do with me this"?

Silenteye, thank you for your input and your idea, but please try to keep to the topic of this thread.

You could send steff a U2U to explain your idea that way, or post your idea in your own thread on the forum.

thank you.
