That's as fascinating as hell, I'm surprised that this is the first I've heard of it. Occasionally some fragment of information such as this leaps at me from the bushes and I am appaled that I was not aware of it before... much like the Japanese bombs that landed on the US mainland during WW2 and actually resulted in deaths... for some reason, some such facts remain largely in obscurity. That, or I need to get out of the house more often.
Of course, it doesn't aid in my ability to stay in touch with the world when I consume absolutely no television and read the newspaper only occsaionally... Hot Pastrami |

Linkage for anyone else who may not be aware of the Japanese WW2 "Balloon bombs." Off-topic, I know, but I mentioned it above and didn't want to leave my fellow uninformed in such a state:
