    I just want to know the kid isn't laying in pieces somewhere.

    Then will move on to ruby slippers scenario.

    A witness reported seeing something drop from the sky a good distance from the home. Law enforcement is responding.

    Is it just me or did it seem that the people who got to the balloon first didn't seem all concerned if there was a kid inside. You'd think you'd check that out first before tying the thing down or securing it. Did they already know? Maybe a helicopter with a infrared could see that there wasn't anything inside.

    Ahhh, those innocent, pre-Balloon Boy days.

    We all seemed so young.

    It is very, very windy here today, so getting that thing on the ground and securing it so it wouldn't take off again.

    No, not yet. Not at the house in Fort Collins (2 miles from where my sister lives) and they are looking into a report of someone saying he saw something drop from the sky on the Plains.
