As of 12:16 PDT this is happening now. Switch to any news channel.

6 year old boy managed to get into and untether an experimental helium ballon. Now streaking over Colorado heading towards Denver.

What I liked about this story was how mediocre the live news reporting was. Really slap dash, incomplete, confused. Lots of fancy graphics, tho! Funny.

Must say bravo to the helicopter crew. Excellent flying and camera work. At least they did a great job.
 
Here's a claim from someone who says that he helped Richard Heene work on the hoax. I personally suspect that they are going to find that Mr. Heene was planning on a elaborate UFO hoax, and when it released before plans, and they thought his kid was in it, the whole hoax went to hell. Now the Heene's are trying to cover their behinds.
