Forest fires in the West started by the Japanese 65 years ago?

Ok, this is a stretch but I have had this in my file for awhile and I post it more for humors sake rather than a serious concept. The Japanese, in WWII decided to use the then-unknown Jet stream to send over balloon bombs across the ocean and bomb the Pacific Northwest. A few dozen were shot down. The press and military covered it up to avoid panic and a bunch of them are still rusting away in the forest somewhere.  Amazing that most people have never heard of this attack in WW II. It is the only known aerial bombing of the American homeland by a foreign adversary. Read on Wiki
