I dunno.

I carried around guns and knives at that age. No problem.
Life is tough. They family played with balloons and stuff.

It’s not criminal.

If that is a child, there is no way he would survive that kind of fall unless a miracle happens.

I saw that too- not sure what to make of it though. It didn’t APPEAR large enough to either be the boy or a basket, did it?

I’m starting to get a bad feeling about this, you know?

What a horrible way to die.

Reminds me of 9/11.

WTF??? Fox 31 at the house of the parents reporting sheriff says a basket was still attached at the time of landing. No longer looking for a basket. Moving news reporters away from the house down the street some distance.

CNN saying LEO saw object falling from it, and is showing a still photo of what is to this point unidentifiable.

does a 1000 hours piloting a cesna make one a '747 expert'?

i'm not trying to be difficult. i'm just saying this wasn't a regular hot-air balloon. this was a homemade mylar balloon.

Nobody’s gotten the story straight! Basket, no basket.

my guess is what landed it what took off. Reporters are AFU.

Any news of photographic enhancements of this ‘dot?’

Not feeling like there is going to be a happy ending to this story.

Early on Denver Channel 7 and NBC were covering live with choppers but the feed never connected for me, probably because of bandwidth limitations. I found a live feed on Fox 31 without a chopper and have remained there.

Re: "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..."-PureSolace

Which video? Link?

I forgot to add: I don't see where they're claiming that the boy was found. Do you (PureSolace) have a direct link to the place where you read that?

My FR friend...prayer is never wasted. If you knew the Lord Jesus, you would know that.
Trust Him today for your life. Ask for mercy from Him and if you truly do believe He died for your sins, He will save you.

The dimensions of that object do not indicate a person.

To me from that photo, it looks as if whatever fell out would be close enough that they could just walk over and see what landed.

On my 26” TV, the speck was likely 3-4’ long compared to the size of the gondola.

Pray hard.
