Quite the unique ongoing story out of Colorado that is *all over* the news networks right now.
Media has been reporting that a 6 year old son of a retired weatherman climbed into an floating aircraft/balloon-like structure.
Live feeds were all over the place, showing the balloon at heights of 7,000+ feet. At the time they operated under the assumption that the boy was inside the thing while it was floating, but was not inside after it finally came down to earth after two hours in the air.
Rumour currently is that he fell out/climbed out of it at some point, but nobody really knows where he is or can even confirm that he was ever on board.
