FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities are carrying out an intense ground search for a 6-year-old boy who was thought to be in a balloon that floated away from a Colorado home. The boy was not in the balloon when it landed, and his fate or whereabouts were not immediately clear.
Authorities feverishly searched for any sign of the child, including in the neighborhood where he lives.
The bizarre scene played out live on television as the balloon rotated slowly in the wind, tipping precariously at times before gliding to the ground.
