Holy cow.

Officials are trying to rescue a 6-year-old boy who climbed into a balloon-like experimental aircraft built by his parents and floated into the sky over eastern Colorado

I wonder how high it will fly. They could use a helicopter at low altitude.

Probably 200 feet from the ground... good speed still... maybe a bit more, but way lower than it was 5 mins ago.
