There have been several escapes and subsequent sightings. One of the best (I think) reported a shark being attacked by a flock of seagulls. Another escapee was let loose in a two-storied house, floated up the stairs, out an open door and away over the balcony railing.

Whoever thought they should only be flown indoors must have a very big house.

We have one of these and brought it out during one of our famous "Wine Group" wine tasting evenings. Affectionately dubbed "Wino", we had so much fun and laughter "flying him all over the house. It is hilarious. Who ever thought this up was a genius

Buddy and Jim out walking.
Buddy: "Why can't cows fly?"
Just then a bird flew over and dropped a present on Buddy's hat.
Jim: "Now you know..."

This is too funny! We saw these at the mall before Christmas and the kids begged for one. I didn't buy one - we were on a mission for some winter gear and I try not to let them get side-tracked... Will have to share this with the family...

I can just imagine the pilot jumping out of his seat for a moment before realizing it was a balloon - just not what you'd normally expect to see!
