FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A 6-year-old boy climbed into a hot-air balloon aircraft and floated away Thursday, forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue the boy.

Larimer County sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella says the device, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet. Sheriff's officials last saw the device floating south of Milliken, which is about 40 miles north of Denver.

Campanella says the 6-year-old climbed into the access door and was in the airborne device.

FAA spokesman Mike Fergus says the agency has been notified and it was unclear whether traffic controllers had picked it up on radar.

Additional details were not immediately available.

He was never in the balloon. They found him hiding in the attic.

I'm so happy that the outcome was good. I couldn't help but watch and wonder how terrified that poor little guy must've been. I was thrilled when he was found hiding in the attic...well, that sounds bad but you know what I mean.

Good glad to know they found him, scary thoughts came to mind... I did hear that........Thanks Admin

And now this morning on tv the parents and they dont want to be truthful.

The story is beginning to fall apart. Last night the six year old said during an interview, when asked why he hid in the attic, "we did it for the show". These are people who have been on the show "Wife Swap" twice. Some think they are publicity seekers.

Thanks ADMIN...the last I heard he wasn't in the baloon but they couldn't find him. Makes me wonder why neither parent knew where their 6 year old was.

Hey Cap - I thought of you yesterday (and probably owe you an apology). I have been in Philadelphia for a seminar and meetings, and am returning home this morning. Got here late Wednesday, and my schedule Thu was packed. Headed back today. Sorry we did not have a chance to meet, but I must say I am happy to be leaving this cold rain behind.....

ADMIN>.......it's been beautiful here until yesterday. Isn't this cold rain bone chilling?? I am also sorry I missed you. Shame the Phillis weren't in town......you would have seen Philly at her best

DCFS needs to remove the kids from them ASAP and put them into treatment because they are not all there. That father is putting his kids in harms way and is a glory seeker
