Followed by the cry of “Baba Booey” no doubt.

"...and I see OJ....."

One of the all-time classics. Jennings was so clueless until Al Michaels clued him in.

Uh, no. He sounded like he was making a pretty well reasoned case.

"Any word on the boy’s condition?"

Not a peep. Not even sure the child was in/on/under/attached to the balloon, at all.

That speck in that photo looks more like it could be a person-the shape isn’t as rounded.

It started to tear in the wind and sprang a leak.

Numbers? Heck no, I have no idea whatsoever. But I am skeptical of everyone.

He may be on to something, or he may be on something. I don’t have a clue.

He was wearing blue pants and a blue shirt (according to the local EMS / fire / police radio chatter.)

Just got an automated call from the Larimer county Sheriff that search and rescue is in the area looking for a 6 year old boy. I’m in very south east Fort Collins area and there are helicopters flying in the area. They must be moving their search area.

I zoomed in as far as I could as well. The ‘falling’ object looks like it is neon green on the top and bottom. It looked almost cylinder-shaped.

all there was on the bottom of the box was a metal rod about 12” long give or take coming out of the center. Being a weather balloon it was likely an antenna or lightning rod.

OK, thanks
