"The pilot told passengers that they would be making an emergency landing because the wind had died down and the hot air balloon was running low on fuel."
"[The pilot] was trying to get us to the street, but we couldn't get to the street in time, so we landed in the people's backyard safe and sound."
"We're just happy that everyone was safe. It's just such a whimsical story."
A hot air balloon made an emergency landing in a Temecula backyard due to low fuel and calm winds. Hunter Perrin and his wife witnessed the landing and interacted with the passengers, who were in good spirits. The pilot informed the passengers about the emergency landing, and one passenger expressed gratitude for the pilot's skills. The balloon was later moved to a position where it could take off again. No injuries or property damage occurred, and witnesses compared the scene to the Pixar movie 'Up.'
