The following is not my work. I copied it from another forum in case it's of interest.
"I happened across this military document (originally produced in the 1970s) on how to apply forest fires as a military weapon.

It was given DARPA authority in 1983 and produced to be distributed by authorised US Government Agencies and their contractors and goes into great detail of these strategies over some 170+ pages."
Absolutely nothing new. In World War II, the Japanese had a program for sending balloons adrift eastward across the Pacific Ocean to drop incendiaries on U.S. Pacific Coast forests. Some fires did result, in Oregon, I think. How many here knew about it? Our ignorance is their greatest ally.
