LARIMER COUNTY - Officials in Larimer County are actively searching for a child who literally floated away from his family's home on an experimental aircraft.
According to the Larimer County Sheriff's Department, the 6-year-old boy's family had been building an experimental aircraft which had a large helium balloon attached at their home on Fossil Ridge Road in Fort Collins.
On Thursday morning, according to the family and officials, the boy got onto the aircraft and detached the rope holding it in place.
The aircraft is described by the sheriff's office as a dome-shaped, 20 foot, 5 foot aircraft covered with foil.

Well, they're still not entirely sure he actually was in the balloon when it floated off. Hope he's alright...

The theory, or hope, right now, is that the kid is running scared and doesn't want to be found. I can relate;and I hope that's all it is.

I read that some folks saw a box drop from the bottom of the balloon. I'm afraid the kid may have been in that box.

The kid was just found hiding in the attic.
The 6-year-old Colorado boy who set a helium balloon adrift Thursday, prompting ground and air searches for him, has been found alive, authorities said. He was found in a box in the attic at his family's Fort Collins home, according to authorities.
