BREAKING NEWS!!!  Apparently, a 6 year old boy in Fort Collins, CO is floating through the air in a homemade balloon that looks like a flying saucer. The boy’s father and him were working on the device when it became untethered from the ground and lifted off with the boy trapped inside.

The balloon has room for a passenger and is filled with helium. Authorities have been tracking the balloon all day since it lifted off sometime this morning. Officials have found the balloon fluctuating between 7,500 and 8,500 feet above the ground. It is believed that it could go as high as 10,000 feet into the air.

The structure is not believed to be able to withstand any sort of crash and is currently floating towards Denver Airport air corridors.

This is hands down the weirdest stories of the week.
