http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,7526459.story A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft and floated away near Fort Collins, Colo., forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue him. Live footage from a TV helicopter showed the balloon moving swiftly through the air. The aircraft, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet.

Awesome if it is true.

edit: although, on reflection, who made it? who left it out where this kid could get in it? and htf did he manage to take off?

The circumstances are unknown, but the parents should be locked up. I hope the kid comes out okay

This thing is seriously starting to sag!! Losing a lot of air and altitude...

It's also spinning pretty hard - poor kid must have repainted it with barf. He'll be traumatized for a while
