Link to storyThis story is absolutely amazing. After getting home around 3:30 pm EST, I turned on the news and saw this story live and was in shock.
Summary:
So there was a family in Colorado who loves weather stuff, and they launched a weather balloon today from their house. One of their sons said his brother climbed into the balloon right before it took off, so the police spent a couple hours chasing it down until it landed probably around 30-40 minutes ago. The police open it up and the kid isn't inside, so now they're doing a ground search to try and find him.

Wow, that's kinda terrible. I hope they find him.

Holy moly. This is one of those times I hope it's a hoax. At least he'd be safe.
I hope they find him safe and sound -- and if he did ride in the balloon, he'll have quite a story to tell!
ETA: Just went to the gym, and they said on the news that he'd been found safe at home. Bet he accidentally unleashed the balloon, got scared, and hid.
