Imagine it's 1942, the height of WWII. A dentist—and a close friend of the First Lady—proposes a plan so wild it leaves generals speechless. 🦇🔥

​His idea: Turn millions of bats into living incendiary bombs.

​The plan was terrifyingly logical. Each bat was equipped with 17 grams of napalm and a timer. At dawn, they would be dropped over Japan in massive canisters. The bats would instinctively hide in the crevices of wooden houses—and an hour later, the cities would turn into a sea of fire.

​But karma struck instantly. During testing in New Mexico, some of the "armed" bats woke up early and escaped. They didn't fly to the target range. Instead, they did what bats do—they hid inside the military base itself.

​The result: Burned-down hangars, the general’s car destroyed, and a base turned to ashes. The military realized that "bat chaos" was impossible to control. The project was scrapped, and all resources were shifted to the atomic bomb.
​It remains the strangest attempt to create a superweapon in history.
