Google's Loon Balloon Crashes Into Front Yard, Shocking SoCal Neighborhood Google loon balloon crash: A southern California neighborhood got a rude awakening Saturday when a Google Loon Balloon fell out of the sky and onto their block. A giant Google research balloon caused quite a shock for some Southern California neighbors when it fell out of the sky onto a quiet street in Chino Hills. The fifty foot balloon crash-landed in a palm tree. Janet Olaffson didn’t realize it had fallen in her front yard until she got a knock on the door from the local sheriff’s deputies. “We ran out, and the police said don’t go near it,” she said. “At that time they had got a call from the company that said its a weather balloon,” said Olaffson. Curious neighbors came to see it by the droves — driving by, snapping photos. Rumors began to circulate. Some speculated it was a weather balloon traveling from Las Vegas to Japan.
