Japanese Balloon
Bomb Found by Two
Klamath Fishermen
BY JIM FISHER
A discovery last July 29
by two Klamath Falls fisher
men recalled for many res
idents of southern Oregon and
elsewhere in the Pacific
Northwest one of the best
kept secrets of World War II
What the fishermen dis
covered were the remains of
a Japanese balloon bomb
nearly 12 years after it had
landed on the north side of
Pelican Butte, located ap
proximately 25 miles north
west of Klamath Falls.
An Army ordnance bomb
disposal team was sent from
Ft. Lewis, Wash., to recover
the bomb remains. The rice
paper ' balloon had rotted
away, . leaving only parts of
the carrier Intact.
Because of the absolute
secrecy used by the United
States in reporting the suc
cess of the Japanese balloon
bombs, few people today know
just what the balloon bombs
were and how they worked
An even smaller proportion
of the residents of the Med
ford area relize that a bomb
from one of these balloons
fell and exploded on the out
skirts of Medford early in
1945.
About 5:45 p.m. Jan. 12,
1945, Oliver Tice was weigh
ing hay with his brother near
his barn on South Peach st.,
between Stewart ave. and the
Old Stage rd. Tice, still
resident of the Rogue River
valley, recalls that he and his
brother heard a whistling
sound coming at them from
straight overhead. He thought
it was an airplane trying to
land in his alfalfa field, but
instead x the object whistled
over him and fell to the
ground about 500 feet from
where the two men were
standing. At once there was
an explosion and flame "as
blue as Crater Lake" shot
into the air more than 30
feet. Tice's hat was blown
off his head and the 125 head
of cows that had been bedded
down around the barn jumped
to their feet.
With the explosion over,
thick white smoke curled up
from the area and continued
to do so for two hours. Tice
and his brother walked over
to the area of the explosion
to investigate. There was a
strong, sickening smell in the
air. Tice's dog ran up and
smelled around the bomb
hole and immediately got
sick.
Force of Fall
The two men noticed that
the force of the fall had push
ed the object more than four
feet into the hard, sticky soil
For an area four feet in dia
meter around the explosion,
the dark soil had been turn
ed white and would crumble
like pumice.
Tice called the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, but
had to wait until nearly mid
night before the local FBI
man returned from another
assignment in Chiliquin. By
! digging in the hole, Tice and
the FBI man found a round
metal object intact at the bot
tom and removed it. All other
burned remains were gathered
together and sent with the
object to San Francisco for
study. Tice and his neighbors
were warned to keep quiet
about the explosion. The FBI
man said that other bomb
explosions would probably be
reported in eastern Oregon in
a short time.
A strange aftermath of this
story concerns what one of
the investigating authorities
told Tice. He was told that
alfalfa would not grow in
the area of the bomb explo
sion cr some time to come,
yet ve next year the alfalfa
grew as least a foot taller
where the bomb had explod
ed. First Introduced
Americans were first in
troduced to the balloon bombs
in the fall of 1944 when sev
eral mysterious happenings
over the western part of the
country were reported. One
of the first reports came from
a housewife in Montana who
saw a flaming object explode
in the air. Other explosions
were heard in the mountains
throughout the Pacific North
west. State and federal for
est fire lighting agencies re
ported fires being started in
isolated areas where no light
ning storms had occurred.
Airplane pilots flying over
Japan reported huge spheres
being released. Ships in the
Pacific Ocean found bits of
rice paper floating in the
water far from any land.
Skillful Flying
Finally, in January, 1945,
an Air Force pilot flying over
Crater Lake spotted one of
the balloons in flight and
through skillful flying and
careful maneuvering, he was
able to force the balloon down
onto a hillside near Alturas,
Calif. At last the American
authorities had an opportun-
ity to study this strange ob
ject that had been puzzling
them.
The balloon part of the
craft was composed of five
layers of rice paper glued with
hydrocellulose and was 33 V4
feet in diameter. Big shroud
lines hung from the center and
supported the bombs and in
struments. Rubber shock ab
sorbers protected the instru
ments. Test balloons had been used
by the Japanese to determine
the length of time it would
take the balloons to reach
the United States. The trip
across the Pacific Ocean took
an average of three days. Tiny
radios relayed this informa
tion back to Japan. These test
balloons had ben discovered,
but they were thought to be
weather balloons.
Estimated Speed
Once the balloons were re
leased from Japanese soil,
they rose to an elevation of
from 25.000 to 50.000 feet
Strong winds carried them
at an estimated speed of 100
to 200 miles per hour. Each
night the cooling gas in the
balloon would cause it to de
scend, but a barometer would
cause one of the attached 20
sand bags, weighing six
pounds, each to drop and the
balloon would regain its al
titude. After a determined
length of time, when the bal
loon reached a minimum al
titude, one of 16 incendiary
bombs would be dropped. The
balloon would then climb
until another barometer
would cause some of the gas
in the balloon to escape. This
cycle would then repeat it
self until all of the bombs
would be dropped.
The Japanese knew that it
would be wise to destroy the
remaining portion of their
bombing craft, so they ar
ranged a mechanism that
would explode and destroy the
instruments and balloon once
the 16 bombs had been drop
ped. Two pounds of piric acid
were used to achieve this
Hydrogen permanent bombs
were often included on the
balloon to create larger ex
plosions when the instru
ments were destroyed.
Fault of Device
Both the sand bag mechan
ism and the bomb mechanism
had two electrical circuits for
safe measure. One big fault
of the bomb device was the
use of a wet cell battery that
often froze during the bal
loon's flight. Had a dry cell
battery been used, more of
the balloons would have func
tioned properly.
With the capture of the
first Japanese balloon intact,
American authorities were
able to definitly determine
that the sand in the sand bags
was" Japanese sand. The
source of the sand was even
narrowed down to a certain
region of Japan where Air
Force bombers were able to
slow up production by heavy
bombing of the factories.
Censorship was placed on
all reports of balloon activity.
Newspapers and radios co
operated in preventing the
Japanes from learning the
amount of success they had
obtained in using their bal
loon bombs. The federal gov
ernment conducted schools
on the bombs with special
personnel attending. All re
ports of strange explosions,
forest fires, . and balloon
sightings were carefully in
vestigated and kept quiet.
Lull in Production
In June-1945, there was a
lull in balloon bomb produc
tion. American scientists fear
ed that the balloons would
soon be used in bacteria war
fare to expose the American
people, their corps, and live
stock to new and ( deadly dis
eases. All county agents, farm-
and agricultural scien
tists were warned to watch for
sick animals and to report
strange deaths of livestock.
Closer to the end of the
war, Japan threatened to send
suicide pilots in balloons over
the United States to direct
bombing, but this was never
started.
Following the end of the
war in August, 1945, Ameri
cans learned that their bac
teria warefare fears were un
necessiry. The Japanese had
known that balloons were
reaching the United States,
but they did not know how
many had survived the long

RAILWAY EXCAVATION Enthusiastic Rogue valley resi- crew is preparing to break the land as first step in the plan
dents turned out in large number April 4, 1905, for com- ned route. The railway did reach as far as Butte Falls and

flight over the Pacific Ocean
or how successful their bomb
ings had been. Only news of
the Montana explosion had
reached Japan before security
measures were placed on all
balloon reports.
The Japanese quit balloon
production simply because of
lack of confidence in this
bombing venture. During the
final months of the war, all
war effort had been directed
to the defense of the Japanese
Islands in preparation for the
expected invasion by the
American forces.
Estimates of Number
Within a few days after
V-J Day, the American pub
lic learned for the first time
the truth about the strange
explosions and the mysterious
crafts. Estimates in the num
ber of balloons set free in
Japan ranged as high as 9,000.
Between 225 and 300 balloons
were actually sighted over
the United States. Serial num
bers on balloon parts ran as
high as 15,98fr. N
The majority of the bal
loons reaching the United
States had landed in the Pac
ific Northwest, but balloons
were sighted as far east as
Detroit and later over Iowa
and Nebraska. During the
United Nations organizational
meeting in San Francisco in
the spring of 1945, the Jap
anese increased the number
of balloons released by sev
eral hundred. One ballloon
was sighted over the city at
the time of the meeting, but
it drifted east.
Besides the story of the
Medford explosion, other
stories were made public con
cerning the invasion of the
United States by the Jap
anese balloons. In February,
1945. a sheriff in Utah tried
to hold down one of the bal
loons that he had found on
the ground. A sudden wind
carried the balloon and the
sheriff for more-than a half
a mile before he could con
trol the craft. He was able to
better secure it this time and
American military authori
ties had another specimen to
study.
Tragic Incident
The most tragic incident
durine the short existance of
the balloon bombs occurred
in southern Oregon, 15 miles
east of Bly. A Lakeview min
ister had taken his wife and
five young Sunday School
children for a fishing trip on
May 5. 1945. One of the group
spotted a strange object on the
ground and attempted to ex
amine it. The explosion tnai
followed killed the minister's
wife and the five children,
ages 11 to 13, including a
brother and sister. The "minis
ter was walking behind the
others and escaped injury. A
mysterious explosion was list
ed in the newspapers as tne
cause of death until after the
end of the war.
Recently, W e y e r h aeuser
Timber company, on whose
land the tragedy occurred,
constructed a memorial to
the six bomb victims, the only
actual war causalties of World
War II on the continental
United States.
During the early summer of
1945, a fire crew of young
boys found a balloon hang
ing in a tree alongside a road
near Lake of the Woods. They
took it back to their head
quarters with them and were
trying to tear it apart when
their foreman found them.
This balloon also was turned
over to the military authori
ties. During the fall of 1944 and
the spring of 1945, many bal
loon bombs were heard ex
ploding in the vicinity of Mt.
McLoughlin. Winds apparent
ly carried the balloons to this
area where they dropped their
bombs before exploding them
selves. At this time, the forest
fire danger was not very high
and the bombs did not offer
as big a threat to the forests
as they would have three
