hmm, it landed but it doesn't look like anyone's in it (all the news networks are on a delay). This might end up being super lame, haha.

nope, haha, nobody in it. Please disregard thread. Smash

hopefully he didn't fall out.

poor kid. hopefully he's hiding somewhere.

I bet it was a trick the two brothers were pulling on people. "hey go let loose mom and dad's balloon and I'll tell everyone that you are in it.", "OK". Smash

His name is Falcon. Clearly he will be just fine Laughing

But in all seriousness, let's just hope he is okay.

this is a family that was on 'wife swap', btw.

urinal mint, I was about to say that. Not to be a jerk because maybe the kid fell out and is seriously injured/dead but a family that builds their own UFO and was on Wife Swap might just be wanting some attention.
