The Unknown Zone: Fire Balloons

Fire Balloons or Fu-Go were the first intercontinental range weapons ever invented and were used in WWII by the Japanese against the allies of North America.  Their purpose was not only to kill people but to start forest fires and burn farmland as well.
Judy Sellins and Dave Turco of the Unknown Zone will discuss how the Japanese discovery of the jet stream lead creation of the world's first intercontinental weapon.  Learn how the balloons were made, what they carried and amazingly how far they flew.  An odd and unknown aspect of WWII kept from the American people in 1945 by the Office of Censorship!
