This strategy resulted in a tragic incident in Oregon, marking the only civilian casualties due to enemy action in the continental U.S. during the war.

A woman, accompanied by her five children, stumbled upon one of these balloon bombs during a picnic. Unaware of its dangerous nature and likely having landed weeks before, the bomb detonated upon contact, causing the immediate deaths of all six civilians.
