Video grab of a small homemade helium balloon floating in the skies ...

As previously reported, a runaway homemade aircraft resembling a hot-air/weather balloon contained a six year old boy. The craft was tracked as it reached over 8,000 feet in the air. The balloon was brought down and the 6 year old boy is not in the craft. A search effort is now underway to find the missing boy by tracking the path of the balloon before it was brought down. More updates to follow.
