UPDATE:  Balloon Lands no sign of boy!  Originally, authorities said the family reported the boy climbed inside the balloon in his backyard and untethered the craft as his brother watched. The aircraft ascended quickly into the afternoon sky before anyone had a chance to react, they said.

The boy’s father, storm scientist Richard Heene, “was in the house” at the time, said Cathy Davis of the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department.

“The son was the one who came in and told him that his brother had climbed in the back when it took off, and watched it take off.”  More Photos Here
