6-year-old boy floats away in balloon

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft in Colorado and floated away Thursday, forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue the boy as the balloon hurtled through the air.

The bizarre scene played out live on television and prompted fears that the flying saucer-shaped balloon would crash with the young child inside. The balloon rotated slowly in the wind, tipping precariously at times.

FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said the agency has been notified and it was unclear whether traffic controllers had picked it up on radar.

Larimer County sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said the device had the potential to rise to 10,000 feet. Sheriff's officials last saw the device floating south of Milliken, which is about 40 miles north of Denver.

"We were sitting eating, out looking where they normally shoot off hot air balloons. My husband said he saw something. It went over our rooftop. Then we saw the big round balloonish thing, it was spinning," said neighbor Lisa Eklund.

Additional details about the child and the balloon were not immediately available.

Now they're saying there's no one in the thing.
So now they have a kid in hiding.

Saying there are reports of something having fell out before it landed.

And, the way it is built, if he had been in there he would have died from lack of oxygen.


Bane, go check on it..........   ;)

Knew it as soon as I saw it..... just didnt look like it would be big enough to get a kid off the ground...... not to mention this was all based on the fact that a kid said he was in there

I figure (hope) he's hiding in a neighbor's back yard or storage building (safe) ....scared for the ass-whipping he thinks he's gonna get from his daddy.

The family must be sick with worry, though.
