Exclamation Boy floats away in a homemade balloon, by accident, he needs rescue!

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...39/detail.html

Quote:
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A 6-year-old boy is floating over northeastern Colorado in a homebuilt balloon and authorities are racing to try and rescue him.

The balloon, in the shape of a flying saucer is covered in foil and filled with helium. It has a compartment for a passenger underneath. It lifted the boy into the air near Fort Collins Thursday morning after the balloon became untethered at the boy's home.
Damn I'm watching this right now on TV...

Playing a little devils advocate here, the father is having work published in the near future. Could this be an elaborate scheme to promote?

It's reported that no one was found inside the balloon. No open hatch at time of landing suggests no one was ever in the balloon at all.

dude the father is a fucking nutcase, chases tornados,.. and brings his kids along when they do it.. and probably named his son Falcon because of his passion for weather/aviation..

how would the boy get latched inside if someone didnt do it?

Thats not what they are reporting. The story is that the dad is an ex-weather chaser/weather scientist. His neighbors say that is constantly doing weather experiments. The dad and the oldest son where working on this weather balloon and one of the youngest son's hopped in the balloon and took off, it happened so fast they couldn't stop him/it from taking off. I mean imagine, its filled with helium.

Meterologist just pointed out that it wouldn't have that much lift with a six year old in it, and that if he fell out, it may have been very low. But hoax/mistake is looking more and more likely.

But I hope they find him safe... crazy..

Wait a second...these people where on TV?

Quote:
The Heene family from Colorado live life on the edge. Wife Mayumi (43) and storm scientist Richard (45) take their three kids, Bradford (8), Ryo (7) and Falcon (5), out of school to go on storm chasing missions to prove Richard's theories about magnetic fields and gravity. If conditions are right, Mayumi wakes her family by shouting "Storm Approaching, Storm Approaching!" into a bullhorn. The family sleep in their clothes so they can leap out of bed and into the storm-mobile. Richard calls Mayumi his 'ninja wife'; she maintains equipment, drives the storm-mobile, films tornadoes and waits with the kids while Richard jumps on his motorbike, heads into the eye of the storm and launches rockets to measure magnetic forces. At home the family are as chaotic as a twister: the kids have no table manners and throw themselves around the house, and while Richard devotes every moment to his research, he expects Mayumi to cook, clean and run the house without any help.
http://abc.go.com/shows/wife-swap/ep...emartel/132697

And these people have NO idea how to pronounce Ryo.

it could be that the kid accidently released the ballon while no one was looking and then went into hiding in fear of getting in trouble, but he must be good at hiding lol
