FORT COLLINS, Colo.—A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade aircraft and floated away Thursday, forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue the boy.
Larimer County sheriff’s spokeswoman Eloise Campanella says the device, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet. Sheriff’s officials last saw the device floating south of Milliken, which is about 40 miles north of Denver.
“The 6-year-old boy climbed into the access door and is in the device and it is airborne,” Campanella said.
FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said the agency has been notified and it was unclear whether traffic controllers had picked it up on radar.
Additional details were not immediately available.
