    Deputies chase boy floating in balloon aircraft
    Cops: 6-year-old takes off in family's experimental helium-balloon craft

    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.

    The Larimer County Sheriff's Department said the boy's family had been building an experimental aircraft that had a large helium balloon attached to it at their home, KUSA-TV reported. The aircraft was approximately 20 feet by 5 feet and covered in tin foil, the station said.

    On Thursday morning, according to the family and officials, the boy got onto the aircraft and detached the rope holding it in place. Sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said the boy climbed into the access door and the airborne device took off.

    Several people in the neighborhood said they saw the aircraft floating over their homes and some snapped pictures.

    Television news helicopters were tracking the craft, which was last seen floating south of Milliken, about 40 miles north of Denver.

    Officials were scrambling to figure out how to rescue the boy.

    The craft, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet, Campanella said.

        Two sentences. However, they were very impactful sentences, typed with passion and exuberance. Clearly.

            This is why kids should be locked in cages, only to be let out under tight supervision.

              News here says that the kid wasn't in it when it landed - was it a dropout or wasn't the brat in it at liftoff ?
              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                  Kids are a menace to society and should be outlawed.

                    If the brat somehow survived this stupidity the cost of the search and rescue should be sent to him and not to the parents.
