FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - A homemade balloon aircraft landed in a Colorado field after a 6-year-old boy was seen climbing in.
Rescue crews surrounded the balloon. The child's fate was unclear. The balloon traveled for more than two hours.
Cathy Davis of the Larimer County Sheriff's Department told reporters the balloon was owned by the boy's parents and tethered behind the family's home. She said two sons were playing outside when the older boy saw the younger one go into a compartment at the bottom of the balloon and fly away.
The balloon was airborne for more than two hours.
