Authorities are scouring the skies Thursday for a 6-year-old boy who unhooked his family's experimental balloon-powered aircraft and floated away from home, sheriff's officials said. Click here to watch live.

The Larimer County Sheriff's Department said the boy's family had been building an experimental aircraft that had a large helium balloon attached to it at their home, KUSA-TV reported. The aircraft was approximately 20 feet by 5 feet and covered in tin foil, the station said.

On Thursday morning, according to the family and officials, the boy got onto the aircraft and detached the rope holding it in place.

Several people in the neighborhood said they saw the aircraft floating over their homes and some snapped pictures.

Officials were scrambling to figure out how to rescue the boy.

The craft, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet, Larimer sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said. Sheriff's officials last saw the device floating south of Milliken, which is about 40 miles north of Denver.

Man that kid is going to be royally fucked by his parents.

If the kid wasn't in it there is also a chance he might have just let it go and thought he would get in trouble by his parents and hid somewhere. Hopefully that's the case.

That was my thought king cola.....I am sure his parents would be thrilled to find out that he is hiding worried about getting in trouble.

They have got to find that kid!

The good news is they found the kid safe hiding out in the attic part of his parents garage.

"Hey Bobby, do you want to play with my dads experimental helium aircraft?"

"Yeah I do, Timmy, let's go!"

"No no no no! I said to hold on to that cord!!! Fuck dad's gonna kill me!"

Guaranteed that's how it happened. Though if this was in the Disney universe, he would have actually been in it and would have gone on a magical adventure that solved all his life problems.

If his parents knew he didn't fly away with the craft and didn't report the incident that it took off there would have probably been a few UFO reports coming in lol.

It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"
