FORT COLLINS. Colo. - Authorities were trying to determine Thursday how to safely bring down a 6-year-old boy who reportedly clambered into his family's experimental balloon-powered aircraft and floated away from home, sheriff's officials said.

 

Building an aircraft with the family goes to new heights.

The family has described the structure as a a dome-shaped "homemade flying saucer," Larimer County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Kathy Davis said.

 

"We're trying to determine the best course of action," Davis said. "This is a first and we'll do what we need to do."

WOW, that's pretty scary, it sounds like this could end poorly, but certainly hoping for a happy ending.

They are now saying the boy might have fallen out because the door on the balloon was unlocked.
