Most of us know of this story, and while reading it again, it dawned on me that we are not nuts chasing some of these "No known reason" incidents.
Also keep in mind the balloons released near the Super Bowl on game night in Texas.
"5000 WW2 Balloons, released by Japan, each with 33 pounds of explosives". Several did reach the U.S.
Is this also an explanation for some of the "unknown reason" airplane crashes? It is easy to accept for the forests and plant fires.
Send it up and then fire a pellet gun at it, when it is in place.
Remember the man a few years ago, who tied the balloons to a lawn chair and went all the way up to the flight paths of the planes.
There is a thread here, as I recall, with photos.

This one took a day for it to dawn on me, how it works, it is easy to start a rock slide and by doing so close a main train track for several days, as this one did.
At first, it seemed normal. Is it?
I don't think this is the same train that was said to be blown down an embankment by a storm, nothing is said about wind. (on the news 2 or 3 days ago.)
