Boy believe to have floated away with helium balloon

I’ve been following this story for most of the afternoon and it just seems to be getting weirder and weirder by the minute. First, reports came in that a boy was floating away in a home-made helium balloon and cameras circled the object until it crash landed somewhere near Colorado Springs, Colorado. Then, when emergency crews looked into the balloon, they found that there was no boy inside! And now, some people are saying that the boy might not have even been in the balloon in the first place or that the kid might have fallen from the balloon while it was in the air (if that is the case, then that’s pretty sad).

In any case, this is still a developing story and the authorities are now looking for the boy.
