Default Flying Saucer -- Helium Balloon

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.

Looks like a fairly untramatic landing... balloon in tact.

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.
