Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colorado balloon incident
Per  and the essay Wikipedia:News articles. Wikinews is the proper venue for a water-cooler news item of no significance like this. If the "Boy Who Was Not Really In The Little Balloon, But Hiding in the Attic 'For The Show'" turns out to be as notable as Wrong Way Corrigan who flew "accidentally" from New York to Ireland in 1938 and told authorities he had intended to fly to California, then an article can be created detailing the made-for-TV movies, books, new laws, or societal effects  beyond being literally an "OOH SHINY!!! distractor or stunt which captivated CNN for 2 hours when they could have been discussing war, politics, the economy, or swine flu
