KABC reported. <\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI go and answer the door. This guy\u2019s like, \u2018They just landed in your backyard!!!’\u201d Perrin told the outlet. \u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018What!?’\u201d<\/p>\n
The startled homeowner and his wife, Jenna, then ran outside to check what had happened. <\/p>\n
The bizarre footage captured a basket full of abnormally calm passengers smiling and waving at Perrin and his neighbors, and a giant, towering balloon cascading into the trees above the yard.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi everybody, look at that. Ha ha!\u201d someone could be heard yelling at the smiling passengers. <\/p>\n
The \u201cmasterful\u201d pilot of the hot air balloon told homeowner Hunter Perrin that the wind had died down, forcing them to make an emergency landing. Youtube\/Hunter Perrin<\/p>\n
The \u201cmasterful\u201d pilot of the hot air balloon told Perrin that the wind had died down, forcing them to make an emergency landing. <\/p>\n
\u201cI open the sliding glass door, and there\u2019s a basket full of thirteen people in my backyard!\u201d Perrin recalled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pilot, he was masterful. He got it right down inside, like directly into the backyard, where there was nothing. The balloon didn\u2019t catch on anything. No one was injured.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stunned passenger Brianna Avalos added that she had been taking the balloon ride to celebrate her 10th anniversary with her husband when the pilot suddenly announced they had to land. <\/p>\n
\u201cAt first I was like, \u2018Oh my God! We\u2019re in a backyard! This is crazy!\u2019 Avalos told the outlet.<\/p>\n
The passengers eventually walked out of the basket, and the balloon was attached to a strap and airlifted out of the backyard and onto the street. Youtube\/Hunter Perrin<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said there\u2019s not enough wind, because the wind kind of like, stopped a little bit. And he was like, \u2018We\u2019re going to land.\u2019 And we only had a little bit of fuel left,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
