A six year old boy was thought to have been blown away in a giant helium balloon has been found safe.

Falcon Heene, from Colorado, America, was seen climbing into a weather balloon by his brother.

The balloon was used by Falcon’s dad to track the weather.

As it went thousands of feet into the air, it was watched on live TV. When the balloon finally landed Falcon wasn’t inside it. He had been hiding in a box in the attic the whole time.

Falcon’s dad had told Falcon off for playing in the balloon just before it was accidently released. Nobody noticed him getting out before it was released.

Falcon said that he got scared when his dad shouted at him so he hid in the attic and that he heard people shouting him but he didn’t want to come out because he thought he would be in trouble for hiding.

His dad has apologised for shouting at Falcon and says that he is just glad that he is safe.
