The Colorado Army National Guard was preparing to launch two helicopters to help rescue a 6-year-old boy at first thought to be trapped inside a balloon that floated away from its mooring Friday morning.
Air Force Lt. Col. Susan Romano, a spokesman for the 1st Air Force, which oversees military missions within the U.S., said the Colorado Guard prepared an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter to track the balloon and an UH-60 Black Hawk to attempt a link up with the balloon if needed.
