Authorities said Falcon Heene was at home and hiding in the family’s attic the entire time the balloon was in flight. He is currently at home and is doing fine.

People across the world watched Thursday as the homemade helium balloon soared 7,000 feet over eastern Colorado for more than an hour and a half.
