Up and down the block, people started pointing and snapping pictures, including Edwin Valentine.

"And I look up and the balloon is just traveling between the houses into the street, I said, 'Oh my god,' I saw it go up over there and I started recording it." Valentine said.

The balloon's pilot told everyone the wind blew him off course.

Everyone inside the balloon was okay.

"We never expected that, just coming between two houses and parking in the street, should get a ticket for that," Valentine said.

The balloon eventually deflated and landed on Roland Taron's roof.

"I gave him my ladder, he went up on the roof, cause'cause it was stuck on the lightning rods." Taron said.

Taron told WESH 2 that after seeing the air balloon on his street, he'll stick to sightseeing on the ground.
