OK, here's a theory... seeing as how high it got...

If the kid was in there, and unhooked it... I'd imagine the balloon rose pretty damn fast, and the way that it was spinning... I imagine the child fell out, if he was in it, moments after take off, probably falling out a few blocks from the house.

The way that think was flying: speed, rotation... it's possible it could have closed the door, if it was opened.

Weird, weird story... a thanks to the OP...

They are saying that the bottom was never breached and that it's likely no one was ever in it.

It certainly is.

Hopefully the parents didn't use it as a ploy to gain attention though.

It certainly stinks of a publicity stunt. I'm beginning to doubt there ever was a kid in there, if there's even a kid at all he's probably hiding to avoid punishment.

Not a great publicity stunt - someone is going to jail.

Not in the slightest. This epitomizes cable news, it's a glorified police chase.

The news anchors are using words like 'amazing, unreal, unbelievable'. Come on. A freaking balloon took off...How is that remotely even worthy of this coverage?

Are you really that dense? There may have been a six year old boy inside.

What would you rather CNN cover? A 6 year old kid possibly thousands of feet in the air in a unstable balloon seems like a big deal to me.

No kidding.

CNN was reporting the event with the idea that there actually was a kid inside.

I would say that the mere fact that a 6 year old could've been in that balloon was all of amazing, unreal and unbelievable.
