Yes. On October 15, 2009 a 6-year-old boy from Fort Collins, Colorado untied an aircraft he and his father were working on from his front yard and his sibling said he witnessed him flying into the sky.
Later the balloon landed and CNN reported no boy was found inside. Although it was fear he had fallen out of the balloon, he was later found alive, hiding in his family's attic.
Later in time the family admitted to the whole thing was a hoax.
The odd event captivated the world for an afternoon and became a popular topic on Twitter.
