Local news has the balloon over Hudson, way east of Denver. I think Fox is wrong.
To: balch3
They are saying it is moving very fast — my guess is the winds. Wonder how fast it is moving. Now saying it could go on for a day or two — eventually it will come down according to Tom Jones a former astronaut and fighter pilot.

It’s not a hoax that the thing is flying around.
I suspect a hoax that a human being is on board.

It is a helium balloon. Helium will leak slowly, but they don’t know how long it will take to come down on its own.

It’s not a hoax, we’re looking at it on live television.
It’s a helium balloon. One of the fancy shaped ones, like a flying saucer.
To: TChris
Is this above ground level or mean sea level?

Then three or four nets should do it. Get them from the Air Force or FedEx. It would take some expert chopper flying but wouldn’t it be worth a shot?

I feel the same, and i hope we are right. I would think there would be a buldge on the bottom from the weight of a child. Is a 20ft dia balloon capable of lifting 30-40lbs?
To: Rebelbase
The kid is going to end up in Texas.That wouldn't be so bad, as long as it's a good part of Texas.
To: babygene
I really believe you are right. Remember how much trouble they had on myth busters. Not sure how big this one is though, could be bigger than it looks
To: spectre
That’s what I am afraid of. :(

The basket is inside the balloon, and ‘not attached very well’ according to a police woman who spoke with the family.
