“Balloon Boy” video

A 6-year-old boy climbed into an experimental hot air balloon and has floated away into the skies in Colorado.

The aircraft, which was made by his parents and resembles a UFO, is being monitored by officials who are trying to figure out what to do. The fear is that the balloon will crash with the boy in it. The experimental craft has the potential to reach 10,000 feet.

It’s last known whereabouts was 40 miles north of Denver, near Milliken.

Watch live video of the boy in the balloon and see the developing story HERE!

UPDATE: THe balloon has landed. NO ONE was found inside! One of the helicopters on the scene said the balloon reached 15,000 feet at one time. If you saw the video, you saw what a violent ride that would have been. Let’s hope the little boy is safe and sound somewhere and wasn’t thrown out. OR that it was a hoax!!

UPDATE #2: Another theory….maybe this kid accidentally released his parents’ experimental balloon and was worried he may get into big trouble because of it. So he hid. ?

UPDATE #3: How did this thing get off the ground with a human body in it anyhow? It looked light as a feather.. The more I think about it…hmmm…

UPDATE #4: Balloon Boy has been found alive at his home in Colorado. He was never inside the balloon. He found inside a box in the family’s attic. A sibling originally said that they saw the boy, identified as Falcon Heene, get into the experimental balloon. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/colorado.boy.balloon/
