Here is another historical material that I was able to collect.
In 3 clips that I am presenting today you can hear first-hand accounts of Battle of Los Angeles by actor DeForest Kelley, caller George and by John Wayne (second hand account told by Steven Spielberg).
In two audio clips (Kelley and George) I didn't had the exact year of the broadcast at first but I was able to nail it down because during the show actor DeForest Kelley mentioned 20-year anniversary of Star Trek (so that makes it 1986 – the year of Star Trek IV cinema release).
Anyway clips in question are from radio show „Open Mind with Bill Jenkins“. That was a show similar to Art Bell's Coast to Coast but aired during the 1980's on KABC radio station in Los Angeles. I was able to establish contact with Bill Jenkins last year. He still lives in Los Angeles by the way.
Those are two audio clips plus one video clip in question plus download links:
AUDIO CLIP 1 – Deforest Kelley and Battle of Los Angeles - 1986
Actor DeForest Kelley (1920-1999 – dr. McCoy from Star Trek) speaks that he watched Battle of Los Angeles incident back in 1942 from the Long Beach. He describes it at „tiny little white lights way up in the sky that looked as the little formation of some sort but extremly on high altitude“.

AUDIO CLIP 2 – Caller George give his first-hand account on Battle of Los Angeles – 1986
Caller George says in the same show (where DeForest Kelley was interviewed) that he witnessed Battle of Los Angeles too. At the time he was member of 94th Fight Squadron stationed in Long Beach.
History of the unit available here: http://gotips.net/history.html where it states „Expecting to see action in the Pacific the squadron readied for deployment in Long Beach in 1942“.
Anyway George says that he saw the objects in question. He believed that they were airplanes altough he adds that airplanes were not officialy in the air during that time. He says that he saw objects flying over head. He could see the "wing contuor" of the objects thanks to ground lights. He estimates they were 10-15.000 feet high flying from North-West to South-East. George adds that only airplanes that had wing contour like that at the time were the japanese Zero and P-43 airplanes. He don't think that they were american planes in question. Bill Jenkins comments on that that „Japanese had no way to get their air planes there“.

VIDEO – John Wayne gives different view about Battle of Los Angeles
Steven Spielberg speaks about this connection with John Wayne because he wanted to hire him for the role General Stilwell in the movie 1941 (based on Battle of Los Angeles). After John Wayne has read the script of the movie „1941“ he was outraged. He told to Spielberg „It was not even accurate. I was arround when those fake bombs fall out of the sky. There was no panic in Los Angeles. There was some news reports on the radio and that was about it“.
