As I understand, the Japanese balloon bombs were causing massive damage to US forests, but they managed to keep a blackout on any news reporting on the extent, so the Japanese finally abandoned the project as it seemed ineffective.

One of those balloon bombs actually killed some people up in Oregon; As I recall, they came across it, and went they started examining it, it blew up and killed them.
