During World War 2 Japan sent thousands of "fugo" balloon bombs floating over North America. The U.S. government ordered the media not to tell the American people about them, hoping that Japan would give up on the project--which they did. But this
conspiracy to hide the truth had a downside, of course. On May 5th, 1945 a minister & his wife took their Sunday school class to a camping spot near Bly, Oregon. The kids found an object they didn't recognize & messed around with it; the minister then had the misfortune to witness the death of 5 children, his wife & their unborn child. In 1947 a pair of balloons which had
stayed aloft for years finally came down in
New Mexico; one near Aztec, another near
Roswell. So strange were they, that people
came up with all kinds of ideas about them.
