A six year old boy climbed into a hot air balloon and it floated away. Authorities have lost sight of the balloon....it's unknown whether they are able to track it with radar at this time.

The boys name is, appropriately enough, Falcon.

He's got my well wishes for a safe return to ground level. I really really hope it makes it through this.

He is fine- hid in the attic after he was scolded by his father.
