A balloon landed in a Southern California backyard over the weekend. A balloon with 13 people. The enormous hot air balloon descended perfectly Saturday on a narrow plot of grass at a home in Temecula. Hunter Perrin said he had no idea that he had drop-in visitors until a neighbor alerted him to the balloon emblazoned with gold stars and a crescent moon towering over his home. Brianna Avalos says the pilot told passengers he had to make an emergency landing because of low fuel and shifting winds. She and her husband were riding in the balloon to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. Avalos says everyone was OK.
