The hot-air balloon believed to have been adrift over Colorado with a 6-year-old boy inside turns out to have been empty, after rescuers in Colorado grounded the aircraft. The balloon was adrift for two hours. The boy was said to have been seen crawling into the balloon, and because the latch was unlocked, it's possible that he fell out. The boy's name is Falcon Heene—and his family has appeared on the ABC program Wife Swap. His location is unknown. Watch the live video below:
