MGSF'S DESTINY....IS TO NEVER DESTINY

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.

CNN have the most disturbing live feed in existence tracking the balloon right now:

Well its been confirmed that nothing was found in the balloon so it's looking more and more like a hoax. Still isn't clear if he fell out or not though.

oh well that's a little encouraging then. but he may have survived if he was low enough and fell out. as long as e landed on something soft and didn't reach terminal velocity

This is a little bad, but i feel kind of excited because i have never really watched something like this live. It kind of makes me feel like a part of it, even though im not. Still, Its amazing that you can watch things live (I think it is :P )
