My child's been taken by a homemade helium balloon!!

The frantic search for a 6 year old boy named Falcon Heene started in Fort Collins, Colorado when a giant homemade helium balloon was seen floating away from the family's yard. The balloon was shown flying through the air on television nationwideAfter the boy's brother said he saw Falcon geting into the balloon, "Kevin Kuretich, of the Colorado Division of Emergency Management,... said the balloon did seem to be big enough to carry a 6-year-old". "While the balloon was airborne, Colorado Army National Guard sent a UH-58 Kiowa helicopter and was preparing to send a Black Hawk UH-60 to try to rescue the boy, possibly by lowering someone to the balloon. They also were working with pilots of ultralight aircraft on the possibility of putting weights on the homemade craft to weigh it down. " The balloon that the boy was thought to be in, eventual fell to the ground after a " two-hour, 50-mile journey through two counties...12 miles northeast of Denver International Airport". After Falcon wasn't found in the helium balloon, the "'FAA canceled all northbound takeoffs between 1 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. MDT', said Lyle Burrington, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association representative at the center". The Boy was eventually found hiding in a cardboard box, safe and sound in his own attic.
