I live far enough away from the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning site that I wouldn't have expected this to happen. Friday night I was standing out in our driveway in Hillsborough with my wife and her parents when I noticed a balloon coming over our house. At first I thought nothing of it but started taking pictures just because it was cool. Then we noticed he was losing altitude and seemed to be losing it fast. Now I haven't heard anything official on this, but it certainly seemed like an unplanned landing. The thing ended up coming down about two blocks from our house on a residential street, basically in somebody's front yard. Everyone was okay.
