Battle for credibility perhaps...

Perhaps consider it as sarcasm rather than spin or glorification. Note the "Battle of Los Angeles" also commonly known as the "Great Los Angeles Air Raid" a few years prior, which may have been UFO's, the Japanese, balloons or perhaps much to do about nothing..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles
