FORT COLLINS. Colo. - Authorities were scouring the skies Thursday for a 6-year-old boy who reportedly unhooked his family's experimental balloon-powered aircraft and floated away from home, sheriff's officials said.

The Larimer County Sheriff's Department said the boy's family had been building an experimental aircraft that had a large helium balloon attached to it at their home, KUSA-TV reported. The aircraft was approximately 20 feet by 5 feet and covered in tin foil, the station said.

On Thursday morning, according to the family and officials, the boy got onto the aircraft and detached the rope holding it in place. Sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said the boy climbed into the access door and the airborne device took off.

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

Officials were scrambling to figure out how to rescue the boy.

The craft, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet, Campanella said. Sheriff's officials last saw the device floating south of Milliken, which is about 40 miles north of Denver.

Balloon Boy: 'We Did This for the Show'

http://gawker.com/5382890/balloon-boy-we-did-this-for-the-show

Speaking with Larry King stand-in Wolf Blitzer,

an absolutely confused Falcon, explaining why he didn't come out of

hiding when he heard his parents calling his name, blurted, "You guys

said, that, um, we did this for the show." We assume he's referring to Wife Swap, a show upon which the family has appeared twice.

His father's initial response to the apparent confession? A disgraced "man."

Update: Daddy dearest later said he was "appalled" by intimations the family did this all for publicity. Simply appalled!

And there you have it.

The question is, What show?

Did they really do this to extend their 5 seconds of fame from an episode of that God-awful Wife Swap show?

They are a family of attention whores.

they go on tv, they make youtube vids, they have a website.
