My wife called me from my daughter's house saying she was looking at a flying saucer, I thought she was crazy! She was with four others looking at the same thing. Later I turned on the news and there it was, it was a homemade craft and a young boy climbed into it and it came loose and took off, he's at about 7000' right now, unbelievable! She's still crazy!!

Good news. The balloon has landed and the 6 yr old boy was not found in it. He must be hiding at home for letting the balloon loose.

latest report says the baloon safely landed in the Colarado desert

It flew just east of my daughters house, they are afraid that either a part holding the boy may have fallen off, or he fell out. The kids brother said he saw him get into it just before it took off. May be a bad out come.

FORT COLLINS. Colo. -

A 6-year-old boy was found hiding in the attic at home Thursday, several hours after the runaway flight of his family's experimental balloon riveted the nation and led to a frantic search for the child, who was feared to have fallen from the craft.

After the ballon went down & there was no boy inside, it appeared he had fallen out. Reports drug along for awhile, & I had a ride to the lake planned. By the time I got home, the story had begun to smell like a set up of sorts. Boy said he did it 'for the show' or something similar on LK/CNN to Wolf Blitzer. Reports also say the brothers were videotaping the "takeoff" from their roof. Dumbasses, and appears the whole family has the Dumbass gene, IMHO.
