Raw Video: Homemade Balloon Aircraft Lands

[DavithRedway]

i saw this live, the kid was at home, hidding! lol

[DragonDust1000]

someone get him out

[drummest1995]

guy runnning face plant....stand up falls agian...

[C0mm3n]

If you changed the title, and said it was a UFO, I'd have believed it!...Cus when the ballon lands...everyone is like..."Don't go near it, we'll just walk around it, being cautious"...

Then at 1:26 the guy with the stick walks around to the back...prods and beats an alien, trying to crawl out of the craft!

teehee

[pivotjuggalo]

The stove top popcorn has landed

[stevenpie12]

lol if i owned the land i would be like "fuck u guys u owe me 20 grand each for fuckening up my yard"

[vlogboy209]

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! RUN ALIENS AAAHHHH SHIT

[MapleBedas]

Hilarious, seeing them run after the balloon and then no one is inside ;)

[MrAram360]

mmmmmm..... cupcake aagggg.....

[Kilabrava]

@00119922hi if you think about it and if you knew the story, all thoughs men were told that a six year old boy was in there so im pretty sure a life is more important then plants

[metacho90]

@Kilabrava i donkt know abut that story nothing only i see this video

[metacho90]

where is the boy=0?

[Hiroslave]

@metacho90 in the bathtub

[SuckMyPs3Controller]

@metacho90 he was hiding in his garage because his perants told him to

[nichodia]

@metacho90

Turned out he was hiding in the attic of his house, the parents wanted some attention, most people assume

[TOKIOHOTELER1]

why didnt they try to get him out it seemed like they were avoiding touching the balloon.

[ChelsyCheerio]

lol ikr? i dont understand how it couldve lifted him..or how he even got in,lol what people do for attention..

[georgianborat]

Oh my god... flying sauccer

[waynegasparro]

Its a cover up!aliens have arrived and as usual they have found our best and brightest!

[tsdoom32x]

the mother and father are serveing jail for this.. all for 15 mins of fame

[Hellstrom03]

How many people believed that their was a little boy in that balloon when it came out on the news. I mean, how could that balloon posibly carry a child up in the air. By just looking at it you realise that it is to small for that.

[TheLegendofJessica]

How did that boy even find a way in? there's no opening!

[dofusfreako]

True so true

[frounds3]

@Hellstrom03 I agree. This ballon, if filled with helium, could possibly have lifted around 10 pounds under ideal conditions. With hot air, there's no chance.  People can be very gullible.

[WHATTHEDU3CE]

LMFAO look what they done to the old poor farmers field =( AN BARELY PLANTED IT TOOO (NO RESPECT)

[Video85Man]

r they afraid of it or something? lol

[dogs1998]

No because they said that a little boy was in there but he wasnt it turned out to be a scam the boy was hideing in the house cus his parents wanted to make a tv show to make money

[kd5gua]

Hard to tell just how big it was though, really.

[kd5gua]

Just a little more attention in science class. To lift the boy you have to displace around 1300 cubic feet of air with helium. 12.784 cubic feet per pound, roughly. Balloon dimensions of 10x10x13. Probably about four or so times the size of the balloon boy vessel.

[TheLegendofJessica]

exactly.

[22andrey22]

nerd

[drunken1agent2bob]

the little boy fell out

[SkylarkGSX]

They're probably saying to themselves, "we've been duped"!

[cpsurf]

the cupcake has landed

[00119922hi]

omg i would be mad is someone was driving across a feild that i just planted, nobody has and respect anymore....

[bborntoofly7]

this is not about the field someone just planted , Dumbino

[22andrey22]

can u take a joke?

[Tuckerx78]

@22andrey22 i can, but the general public cant

[IrishJimmyB]

oh yeah get pissed at the people trampleing your dirt, its just a human being in that balloon *(at least they though(

[angiesjohn69]

its the middle of fall....and i dont think that colorado ppl plant that much strawberrys or cabage's so ,the field has probobly just been tilled over to wait for this springs planting....but just think if that was your child they thought was in the balloon

[chickenbiscito]

@00119922hi yeah no shit

[crazy360playa]

@00119922hi it was in the fall, that field was harvested and dead

[captrich420]

i think all officials involved shoulb be slapped in the face for thinking that a human could exist in an enviroment of helium... we berathe air not helium if the kid was in the baloon he would have been dead. so where is the thinking of the high paid officials...

[emforty2]

dad is not ok he's going to be charged concocting this hoax lying to the police using 911 emergency system for a fake emergency

and telling his children to lie to the police

using his own 6 yr old and other children to perpetrate a hoax. what a lowlife just for the publicity

what kind of dad/parent are they? they are Not ok

and i don't live in fort collins colorado who cares anyway

[gone2cast]

so... the dad is worse than a TV producer who creates hoaxes, lies to the public, uses an FCC regulated system to advertise products, and creates fake emergencies for financial gain? i see..

[bigfootjeff]

The dad is dam ok...I live Fort Collins to. the boy is goin to be ok

[hawaiangirl96]

que locura! :O

[carbonunit]

Amazing how they can get all those rescue people together, news crews, helicopters, air planes etc in such a short amount of time, I think even the FAA was involved, there must not be much to do in that town, I thinks they were probably all sitting at there desks for months waiting for something to happen

[DivaAnnFisher]

DivaAnnFisher sings

I've Got The World On A String

from the kid's Air Baloon!

Just click

DivaAnnFisher

in blue, above.

Clear music and sound from an air baloon help make for a better world!

DivaAnnFisher

[batman2007]

I can't wait for the Oprah interview lol

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

Do you think this can be a new kind of sport flying equipment?

Please express your opinion!!! :)

Besides, 2 things I would like to say:

(1) The parents are responsible parents

(2) The balloon design is creative space ago UFO.

[NrdsGonWildNewsCrew]

lolz

[zoomerlawns]

They should have shot it down

[donwjaco]

Anyone that knew the size of the saucer shaped balloon, including the father, would have known that there could not be enough helium to lift his son into the air, besides, how could he get into the little compartment on the bottom? Wouldn't the helium in there have suffocated him??????

[FoulOwl]

Valid points.I was thinking the same thing.A freakin moron would know that that baloon couldn't lift a kid.You can tell just by the way it floated it wasn't carrying a load.

[bushtyranny]

The Falcon and the Showman!

No wonder he wanted to swap wives.

Will CPS now yank all the kids for child endangerment? Will we pass yet another law making balloons register with NORAD? Will anybody really have believed aliens come in the form of a 3 foot tall, 6 year old half chinese kid?

[medicinegone]

Looking at it now, it's pretty funny seeing all these people gathered around a stupid balloon, knowing the kid was miles away in an attic.

[llx2o1]

did u even read the story? they didnt know the boy was in the attic until after the craft landed. and they're gonna make a big deal about this because some assuming that its a HOAX. the parents that own the craft are storm chasers and they also investigate in UFO and bs... anyway that helium balloon was said to represent a UFO and they were trying to film it for their show.

[medicinegone]

Yes, I read the story. As I said, looking at it NOW, it's pretty funny, seeing all the concerned people around the balloon, meanwhile the kid is nowhere near there. Do you not understand that?

[llx2o1]

well  you said "Knowing the kid was miles away", which they didn't until the craft landed.

[medicinegone]

I said "Looking at it now..." . It's about perspective. Let me beat this into the ground for you - It's NOW funny, knowing NOW that they were concerned about a stupid balloon and NOT a kid. From HERE it's funny; understandably at the time it WASN'T funny.

HAHA? oy vey.

[golo5000]

video made before running away take a look at video response

[Warthog5050]

Story now is that the kid's brothers have a YouTube account and that they launched the balloon while making a video for YouTube .

[JSquare2009]

this was all BS i think they made it all up with the boy missing an stuff

[cyberteque]

How did this get blown so thoroughly out of proportion?

Anyone who had even an inkling of education should be able to tell that this balloon could never lift a child!

WTF do they teach in US schools?

[mockingarab]

The kid could be choking to death and they are sitting there for several minutes afraid to touch the balloon ROFL!

[KLTolliver]

this was funny and scary cause first i thought it was a UFO and i thought alians took the boy and i was like o shit. look at 0:16 this is the best part of the whole ordeal

[Mammachavez]

Am I the only one who knows that they were on wife swap and the dad was a complete weirdo... they didnt get enough time on that show that there pulling another publicity stunt for more tv time Lol

[brunfist]

You're not the only one. Also with the fact, from the localnewsite, the mom called the PRESS(cnn) FIRST before calling 911. This is just a horrible stunt to possibly give attention to the husband's weather career. Also how can a kid stay in the attic for over 4 hours WITHOUT being seen or heard by the parents. Wouldn't the parent's have frantically called out for the child in the house and outside, "just in case"?

[trento654]

after seeing 120 people posing about it on twitter in less then half a minute, i hoped ofr the id to get hust so all thoughs losers on twitter would have a bad day in their insignifcant life that they can't stop talking about to random people

[trento654]

*hoped for the kid to get hurt

[utgrovehaven]

Charge the parents for the emergency response. Big bill would be nice.

[Overcastkid747]

Crazy fucking publicity stunt, best one in ALONG time...

[ChristinaWatkinson]

wow AP is so behind. The kid was found in an attic..

[90scountry]

alot of spoiled brats here taking shots at a scared little kid. he's safe bet that disappoints ya, huh hypocrites?

[rdeco73]

It was a Fake! The parents wanted more exposure as they were already publicity whores

[Falingshortofu]

ann frank and him should hook up and make attic love

[golo5000]

Look at Video response before boy runsaway.

[golo5000]

Look at Video response of golo5000 before boy runsaway.

[KindredPhantom]

Yo Balloon Boy, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Anne Frank had one of the best attic hideout spots of all time. One of the best attic hideout spots of all time!

[trento654]

fuckin lme after seeing it 900 times on twitter

[theGuyNamedChase]

the boy has been named the 2009 nobel prize winner for aviation. the committe said that the kid was almost as good at flying as BHO was at peacemaking.

[talltom1973]

kid deserves a spanking, I mean a beating. Hey I turned out ok, parents smacked me around a lot.

[theGuyNamedChase]

thank god the kid is alright!!!

BTW --- Was anyone reminded of Honey I Shrunk the Kids during this ordeal?

[Discophreak]

The sheriff: surround it.. don't anybody touch the balloon it may contain the swine flu

The farmer: who's gonna fix my field

The jerkoff father: would you guys mind driving my balloon home and be careful not to tear it...I've been worried sick about it.

[golo5000]

He died watch my video response it has it all the one with the fire fighter. The box attached to the ballon fell with the boy in it. See Video response, I got it from CNN.

[warpedcomedy]

He was found safe. He was never even in the frickin balloon.

[littlemissbirdy]

Apparently hiding in a box lol

[mineohno]

Wow!!! he was in the attic! wow!

[talltom1973]

stupid brat

[lumpagogo]

Try to be the nice tall-tom, the happy tall-tom.

[talltom1973]

Just hate little bastards

[signboyy]

dont touch the balloon its alive!

[littlemissbirdy]

They found him..in his attic!

[talltom1973]

the little bastard

[welltoonces]

They found him in it? Thanks god.....

[vinylsoup]

the boy has been found dead, turns out he was run over by a CNN van...

[craigjkb]

fine the f%%kiing family tax payers money !!

[craigjkb]

LOL LOL you know he is going to get it!!!! idiots all of them!!!

[rdeco73]

Time to start suing! Total publicity stunt! Just called my lawyers!!!!

[7jerryv7]

CNN said he is alive.

[AceCampano]

They found him idiots lol...

[dustbust14]

they found him

[Dj77440time]

watch?v=quhh436jj3c Its proof!

[vinylsoup]

you can clearly see, the basket or secret compartment on this toy balloon. It is so scary and dangerous. Lord only knows how many poor children were riding in this space craft and fell to their death. This should be illegal. Why doesn't someone make this illegal. Please god safe us from the scary balloon. Can we please get the toy balloon on Larry King.

[theboywhogotlost]

97-20-49 = 28 pounds of lift. Now we know the that balloon was not a cylinder which is the formula that I used to get the volume.

[theboywhogotlost]

Even if it was a cylinder it would only lift 97.74 pounds off the ground. Someone at CNN should have been able to figure that out.

1 cu ft of HE can lift 28.2 grams off the ground.

1 pound = 453 grams.

pi*10^2*5 = 1570 (The balloon was 20'x5' but was not a cylindar which this basic fomula uses.)

(1570cu ft * 28.2g) / 453g = 97.7350993 lb

We have less then 97 pounds of lift probably 2/3 of 97, a boy approxametly 50 pounds (average for age) and I guess 20 pounds of material in the balloon.

[rdeco73]

who was at the controlls when it landed?

[jasong19711]

this was an inside job and Bush was behind it all!

[golo5000]

He died, they found his corpse under blanket.

[CamoNick561]

where did u find this out?

[elitebanktyranny]

So the boy died?

very sad :(

[7jerryv7]

Preliminary reports suggest we do not know shit and should cover another story until we learn more. But we will not because we can speculate all day long. I mean, we are 24 hour news.

[Panchee123]

why are they standing there!!!!! Open it up

[HKBM45]

What the hell man. They all just stand there looking at it like they expect an alien to climb out.

[TooCuteForU2]

Lol, I know , huh?....what the feezy?

[double74]

The reason they did was because they already knew the basket was missing and there was no reason to search!!

[HKBM45]

And that's why the EMTs and cops ran up to it with their medical bags. I think this balloon is fully intact.

[djparrish01]

I have a sudden urge for Jiffy-Pop.

[djparrish01]

Well, the kid's name IS Falcon. Maybe he thought he could fly away... another kid with a stupid name trying to live up to it!

(But I do hope he's alive and well!)

[psammysam]

avg wight of a 6 yr old is 45 lb which would require a spherical balloon of about 11ft diameter. this balloon does not look big enough

[scarymarket]

CNN news show. White and Asian couples.

Why do Obessive super Whites marry Asians??!?!?!

[xpreso38]

oops.... he;s not there~~

[rocksofspades]

scary as hell

[me262jet]

It would take about five times that much helium to lift a small person off the ground. I hope the kid is found and all works out well.

[killbill402]

When they chaught the balloon they slaughterd it like a whale.

[SpasticSasha]

lol i noticed that too... so brutal... dont know why

[SweGas]

The balloon doesnt deserve to live... how horrible

[G777GUN]

Somone said to me that hes probly hiding somwere because he knows his dad is pissed.

[RedNymph234]

actually someone said something fell out of the aircraft as it was flying...I hope it wasn't the boy

[G777GUN]

Oh god. What else could it be...

[2bRealist]

I pray thats the case... i know thats what my boy will do.. and I don't blame the father as much... since I know for a fact that boys at that age do have a nack of getting into all kinds of trouble.

[Hoopermazing]

The father killed the boy and concocted this stunt in order to cover it up.

Release the cadaver dogs!

[RedNymph234]

that's horrible to joke about such a thing! What kind of person are you?

[Hoopermazing]

What made you think that I was joking, stupid?

[KindredPhantom]

WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?

[robchronique]

apparently the family that built the damn thing~!

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

If you're an amateur scientist and have a helium balloon, you too could captivate the nation's attention for an entire day!

[SalutationsSir]

This kid is a master troll. He'll show up in a few hours and we'll all have a good laugh about this.

[coffeenuts44]

No way that carried away the boy if its hot air. If it was helium or other lighte gas inside the boy was dead long ago from suffiocation. Or he passed out and fell out.

He's hiding in the barn...

[gymer15]

looks like somebody returned the empty

[pangandamon]

Wright's brothers reincarnation..Watch out for this kid after 15-20 years he might be the first person to fly to Mars

[ebusive]

I doubt this is a scam/publicity stunt. If it is, just imagine the public backlash that the parents will face for this.

I hope the boy is ok.

[katey1dog]

The boy tried flying to Canada for free medical care.

[mikelunz]

He would have gotten there and found out that it is not free, but rather a government version of the same corporation ran insurance, only the main difference: this corporation is allowed guns, and to tell you what you can and can't do.

[katey1dog]

Sure, you believe that.

Nationalize Healthcare now.

[mikelunz]

I will support the case for national healthcare any day for people that want it. Why? Because if people believe something is right then why not let them have it. In that same case, I would hope that you would show me the same equality, and hope that if I want a different type of healthcare, you would support that for me!!!!!! I would hope everyone would support caring for peoples health, I just think that enforcing lifestyles on people is wrong. Support alternatives for those that who want them!

[katey1dog]

Of course I do. If you wish to pay for your own care. So be it.

[mikelunz]

See how civil we were? Wish congress were such. People need to understand, alot of us against HR3200 are not against "healthcare," that would just be wrong. Its the fear of having to much government control all of the time by those of us who have been screwed by the gov. However, if you have not been screwed by the gov, then you are in a position to trust em, and that is understandable.

[katey1dog]

Government control is not the issue.

Government sponsored monopolies are.

With the Public Option, it will grant the people a second option for their health care.

Insurance companies hate competition. And in Alabama, one insurance company reigns 90% above all others.

[masterj345]

yup everybody should have a house the size of bill gates;s house too , and dammit if pelosi doesnt force the corporations to give us each one then screw her!!!

[GinaEmacs]

What irresponsible parents! Let's hope this UFO/Mushroom/Chef's Hat balloon situation was just a publicity stunt and that the boy is safe somewhere!

[mikelunz]

I would not say they were irresponsible, 6 year old boys are very good at getting away with alot that parents do not know about, or directly prohibit. Its a skill inherit beyond anyones ability to control. Boys, sheesh.

[DraconianSilenced]

HOAX!! NO way that ballon could of carried a boy that high. And if the hatch open all the helium would come out and the ballon would descend and crash

[mimineachille90]

i feel bad for the mom and dad

[beagle050]

Insane! Hope the boy is okay. :-(

[bootpdx]

Where are the parents?

[gnr1985rock]

i just saw on yahoo that he wasnt there. they couldnt find him anywhere. i will post the link
