NWR: 6 year old may have floated

away in a hot air balloon... in colorado...

apparently one of his siblings saw him go in but they said the door was open so they dont think he is in there anymore...

on a side note... anyone who has a hot air balloon in their backyard should pay closer attention to their kids... and they should not name their son FALCON!

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Oct. 14) -- A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft before it floated away Thursday, forcing officials to scramble to rescue the boy.

CNN was reporting that the boy may have fallen out of the balloon as it went airborne.
The bizarre scene played out live on television and prompted fears that the flying-saucer-shaped balloon would crash with the young child inside. FAA spokesman Mike Fergus says 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 says the device has 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.

Its deflating....its down to 500 feet now from 4000....they aren't showing live footage anymore because they are concerned that something happened to the little boy and they don't want to show that live.

It landed softly in a field!! He was over houses and stuff, power lines...that is a good sign.

They're confirming that he was NOT in the craft when they found it. So they don't know where he is now.

the family was on Wife Swap, does that shock anyone?
PS, I'm at school in the on campus Deli and EVERYONE is glued to the TV,lol, this is absurd. You could hear a pin drop in here.

And it's flying SUPER fast. Did you see that video? It looks like a UFO. It's not even a regular hot air balloon it's the parents' 'experimental aircraft'.
