I am getting nausea watching this. I hope the kid is unaware of the danger he is in. They are saying if the mylar is well sealed, he could stay aloft for a very long time.

Hopefully he will soon be the star at "Show and Tell".

They now say it has peaked at about 7,000 feet. That should mean the danger of hypoxia is minimal.

Now maybe I have "been had" along with all of CNN and its audience. CNN is now saying there may not be a boy in the balloon.

They got a closeup of him landing safely. The altitude, fear, hypoxia and hypothermia aged him quite a bit.

Yes, my husband told me they found him in a box in an attic.
He's fine. Thank God.

I honestly didn't believe he was in that balloon, though. But...I was praying.

They're thinking this was a publicity stunt by the parents (as many people have suspected since the story broke).

The story made me angry. A lot of time and emotion was wasted if this was truly a hoax.
