6 year old in Colorado 'flying' aimlessly in a helium balloon

Strange! I imagine this would be any 6 year old boy's dream until it actually happens! Hope they can bring him back down to safety! He must be terrified!

NY Times

I read 25mph. That must feel like 100 mph when you're in a balloon in the sky. Gotta admit, seems kinda fun if they knew how to get him back down.

The balloon came down, there was nobody in it.
