EARLIER Authorities had scoured the skies Thursday for a 6-year-old boy who unhooked the Heaney family’s experimental balloon-powered aircraft and floated away from home nar Ft. Collins, Colorado, officials said.

On Thursday morning, according to the family and officials, the boy got onto the aircraft, which is approximately 20 feet by 5 feet and covered in tin foil, and detached the rope holding it in place.

Several people in the neighborhood said they saw the aircraft floating over their homes and some snapped pictures.  

Police searched the Heaney house to make sure he wasn’t in the house and he is believed to have been in the runaway craft when it was launched.

NEW DETAILS: Falcon Heene is the son of Richard and Mayumi Heene of Ft. Collins, Colo. Richard Heene is a storm chaser and amateur "psycientist detective". The couple has twice appeared on the ABC show Life Swap.
Sheriff’s spokesperson Kathy Davis had told reporters that Richard Heene was inside his home and had been told by his older son that the balloon took off with Falcon.  Local news streamed the "drama" LIVE as it unfolded all over the internet.
