If you're near a television, currently a flying-saucer shaped helium balloon is floating outside of Denver, and is believed to be carrying a 6-year old boy. You can learn more here.

UPDATE: The balloon has landed, without a boy in it. And they haven't found him at home. Let's hope and pray that they locate him and that he's alive and well.

God help that little boy.

I fear he fell out early in the flight because of the rickety cardboard and the excessive tilting. He's light enough at 6 years to have gone up, but sadly over 60ft there's not much chance of survival.
