==After World War II==
[[File:Fu-Go balloon bomb - edo-tokyo musuem - 2021 12 3.webm|thumb|thumbtime=1|Small-scale model (1:5 balloon, 1:2 carriage) of a Fu-Go balloon at [[Edo-Tokyo Museum]]]]

All Japanese records on the Fu-Go program were destroyed in compliance with a directive issued on August 15, 1945, the day [[Surrender of Japan|Japan announced its surrender]]. Thus, a single interview with Lieutenant Colonel Terato Kunitake of the [[Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office|Army General Staff]] and a Major Inouye became the source of nearly all information on the project's objectives for U.S. investigators. A five-volume report, prepared by a team led by [[Karl Taylor Compton|Karl T. Compton]] of the [[Office of Scientific Research and Development]] and [[Edward Moreland|Edward L. Moreland]] of [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]], was later submitted to President [[Harry S. Truman]].{{sfn|Coen|2014|pp=191–192}}

The remains of balloons have continued to be discovered after the war. At least eight were found in the 1940s, three in the 1950s, two in the 1960s, and one in the 1970s.<ref>{{cite book |last=Peebles |first=Curtis| author-link = Curtis Peebles |year=1991 |title=The Moby Dick Project: Reconnaissance Balloons Over Russia |publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press |location=Washington |page=82 |isbn=978-1-56098-025-4}}</ref> A carriage with a live bomb was found near [[Lumby, British Columbia]], in 2014 and detonated by a [[Royal Canadian Navy]] ordnance disposal team.<ref>{{cite news |title=Military unit blows WWII-era Japanese balloon bomb to 'smithereens' |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/object-found-in-forest-may-be-second-world-war-era-japanese-balloon-bomb/article21065545/ |access-date=August 10, 2022 |work=The Globe and Mail |agency=The Canadian Press |date=October 10, 2014 |archive-date=August 10, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810224923/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/object-found-in-forest-may-be-second-world-war-era-japanese-balloon-bomb/article21065545/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Remains of another balloon were found near [[McBride, British Columbia]], in 2019.<ref>{{cite news |title=Looking for goats, man finds WWII bomb |first=Andru |last=McCracken |date=October 22, 2019 |newspaper=The Rocky Mountain Goat |url=https://www.therockymountaingoat.com/2019/10/looking-for-goats-man-finds-wwii-bomb/ |access-date=January 29, 2020 |archive-date=January 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200129195258/https://www.therockymountaingoat.com/2019/10/looking-for-goats-man-finds-wwii-bomb/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Many war museums in the U.S. and Canada hold Fu-Go fragments, including the [[National Air and Space Museum]] and the [[Canadian War Museum]].{{sfn|Coen|2014|pp=64, 75, 231}}
