Flying Saucer? or 6 Year Old Flying Fathers Hot Air Balloon?

A 6 year old boy in Fort Collins, Colorado took a blood-curling ride this afternoon (Thursday October 15, 2009) in his fathers home made hot air balloon.

The balloon measures 20 feet long by 5 feet tall and bears an odd resemblance to a stereotypical UFO.

When the Helium filled balloon touched down around 3:45 today after approximately 40 or more minutes of flight, there was no young cherib to be found.

Reports say the boys sibling saw him climb into the dirigible this morning. Whether the child jumped out (or fell out, as the door may not have been securely fastened), before or after taking air is yet to be concluded.

The Mylar coated balloon resembled a typical party balloon(obviously minus the funky designs and its enormous size, although it did have a string attached to it).

So, all that said, we currently do not know whether the boy fell out and is injured or worse, or whether he released the balloon and ran into hiding to avoid punishment from parents.

Furthermore, it could all be a hoax, a scam, to get the entire country or planet to tune into this occurance. Is it a joke or an attempt to con the world into believing this was extraterrestrial activity.

Either way, where the hell are these parents. If you readers ever decide to build your own aeronautical device, please be sure to chain it to the ground and have a secure padlock to anchor it.

Learn to watch your children people and use a little frickin common sense.

We’ll be sure to update this post as new information becomes available.

God bless all who know how to parent and all who have at least 7 marbles left rolling around in their noodle.
