"(CNN) -- Officials are trying to rescue a 6-year-old boy who climbed into a balloon-like experimental aircraft built by his parents and floated into the sky over eastern Colorado. The Federal Aviation Administration is trying to track the aircraft on radar and has notified the Denver International Airport. Shortly after noon (2 p.m. ET), the balloon was sighted two miles south of Evans."

OMG. They think he fell out somewhere along the way.

I don't even know what to say.

That's immediately what I thought when they said he wasn't in the balloon

_________________

Are they sure he got in? Are they absolutely sure he's not still on the ground and hiding?

They searched the home and know he's not there...

Is the witness who saw him climb aboard believable? Could this be a kids' prank?

When I first saw it on CNN, I thought it was a UFO. Who would have thought there was supposed to be a little kid inside it. This is the craziest thing I've heard of. I hope he's alright.
