I am sure alot of people are aware of the Fu-Go balloon bombs used by the Japanese in WWII but I was unaware of this...

The remains of balloons have continued to be discovered after the war. At least eight were found in the 1940s, three in the 1950s, two in the 1960s, and one in the 1970s. A device with a live bomb was found near Lumby, British Columbia, in 2014 and detonated by a Royal Canadian Navy ordnance disposal team. Remains of another balloon were found near McBride, British Columbia, in 2019.

Crazy. Probably not something I would put together if I found debris somewhere out there today.
