reporter on Fox31 is saying that, at a briefing, they were told that this craft may have reach as high as 15,000 feet.
Local news (The Denver Channel; 7News) saying that it is reported that the boy crawled into a box that was attached to the bottom and is not there now.

I know what you mean. For a couple of hours, I felt normal again.

Oh, Lord, let him be stuck in a pine tree canopy. Unharmed.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

There was internal structure to the balloon... it was not a single compartment.

Yes, I did think they acted very weird. I couldn’t figure it out. The almost acted afraid of it. Perhaps they were waiting for the news feed to be cut. Weird. Unless they already had reports of an falling object from it. Still, strange indeed.

I heard that on Fox as soon as the story broke. America chased this thing thinking a boy was inside for two hours. The father built this craft and would know right away that the compartment was gone. They would have immediately broke the news that the basket/compartment was missing.

Yup. We always stayed in the car at the grocery store and once our youngest brother (who would have been maybe four) did the same thing. I tried to swing it back into park but the car was rolling too fast and it wouldn't catch. So we rolled something like 100 feet and hit a power pole. It did make a small dent in the back end of the ‘62 Belair but somehow we all escaped getting any butts dented.
To: katlynne11
On MSNBC they showed this thing pretty close-up. It looked as if the whole thing was covered with the mylar, and that there was no “door” or any other place that the kid could have gotten in.
Obviously, the dad that constructed this knew that, and one would assume that he told the authorities that there was no way that the kid was riding in what was left in the sky being photographed. The only way the kid would be riding would be in another attached “box” that they are talking about falling off.
I’m not sure why they even bothered tracking the balloon, as they would have had to know from the parents that there was no passenger compartment remaining.
To: ETL
According to people posting on that YouTube video, they’re saying that the boy’s body has just been found. Don’t know how true it is...
To: AFPhys
All of a sudden they're talking about a basket. “It wasn't there when the balloon landed.”
Been watching FOX & MSNBC for hours and there never was a basket attached for the two hours camera followed it.
Brother says he was in it and bro believes he fell off. That was mentioned quite a while ago but they (assumedly) withheld info about the basket.
Did authorities purpose withhold info to prevent civilians from looking for the boy on the ground?
