Balloon Boy 2003-2009

A six year old from Colorado was out playing behind his house, where his parents kept tethered a huge balloon used by the father who is some form of mad scientist clearly. His older brother says that he saw the child, Falcon, climb into the balloon and lift-off, raising the question, "what the hell?" This kids parents not only have a balloon big enough to carry a human in an enclosed compartment up to 11,000 feet in the air, but they keep it inflated and tethered in the backyard, and then turn their kids loose. He climbs in, takes off, cruises over Colorado for a bit, and the balloon touches down in the dirt, with no sign of him. 

This one is for you Balloon Boy, wherever you are.
