Huh, I knew about one hitting in Oregon, notable as the only people killed on American soil as a result of WWII enemy action. Or at least the only ones killed by the balloon bombs, don't remember.

Anyway, I live about 30 miles from GR and never knew this.

I found a decent site about the attacks though...

i just read it in a back issue of one of my magazines. lemmie quote; world war II july 1998 " the most chilling specter raised by Pingfan was the balloon bomb. hundreds of those devices ....................in only 50 to 60 hours. ....................Butte Montana,and Grand Rapids Michigan. the story was about unit 731, but they went on about trumans and fdr's cover-up to the masses so they could exploit their own agenda's with biological warfare at Camp Detrick, Md.

News of the baloon bombs were widely reported.

Right, the only thing really covered up was the precise location of where the bombs fell. There were many news reports of the attacks themselves though.

no, sherriff, i wasnt there. but i have it on published print. i dont agree with every thing i read, but that wasnt the only part of the cover-up either. i beleive he sold his soul sometime around 1937. i must consult with james webb, and jimmy page, to see if they saw his signature in the devils book when they signed.

No it was not 1937, it was 1935

Jebe, looks like you might be on to something. Source seems impartial enough, though of course it will need to be checked (don't have the time)

So you others, fess up and apologize!
