Ever have a pod develop, only to watch it shrivel away to nothingness or have no seeds inside? Wonder what causes this?

I think it is due to incomplete fertilization of the ovary, but I don't know for sure. I am no expert. I just wanted to share a photo of one to help everyone know what is going on inside. I call these balloon pods.

I now look at all the pods in my yard and wonder what is going on truly inside.

Guess I won't know until they mature.
