I can only assume it’s deflating. Hopefully not too fast.

Its a Hot Air Balloon at 2,000 Feet Right. No, it's helium.

Is this what weve become reduced to? Expecting what we see in the MOVIES to be reality??? Yes.

This would be a job for Joe Jennings, that guy who does the extreme skydiving stunts for movies. He dives with grand pianos, etc.
The balloon is a slow-moving platform compared to a plane, and a copter might just blow it away. But an absolute lunatic with no fear and one of those wing suits could freefall to the ropes.
I hope this turns out well. Remember, Lawnchair Larry survived at least 11,000 feet in jeans and Tshirt.

I’ve been thinking that but wonder if they would be able to get them right over it as fast as it’s going.

I just heard the same thing — can you believe they would have it in their backyard. Also a very weak box underneath where the boy is at.

The temperatures plummet as you ascend into the atmosphere. I wouldn’t be surprised if the temperature at 8,000 feet is at or near freezing, even if it’s 70 degrees on the ground.

You are correct - looks just like the ship on Lost in Space doesn’t it?

The craft has been holding it’s present altitude since reaching ‘cruise’ altitude. So far so good.
Hang on tight little big man.

Go to heck. It was just an observation.

It is on its way down, apparently.
I pray it's not coming down too quickly.

Its rocking like crazy, they claim is coming down. You can see it tilting and going lower.

Manslaughter rap? Why????? If the kid did in fact get on board, and dies or died as a result, mom and dad are responsible for his death and should be charged.

That wouldn't be so bad, as long as it's a good part of Texas. By which you mean, anywhere but the Llano Estacado, right?
