LIUZHOU, CHINA — This weekend gave way for celebration in China as citizens looked to the moon in the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Luckily for them, the moon came in for a closer look.

The inflatable bouncing ball was filmed on busy roads after it escaped a nearby event in the Guangxi city of Liuzhou.

In the video, the lunar airball can be seen skipping over a car before it hops over an intersection as a man gives chase.

According to Pear Video, the nearly 2-meter diameter moon broke loose in the wind because it wasn't adequately tied down.

Those charged with caring for the inflatable satellite received a thorough talking-to from local police.

The break-away moon was eventually recovered and deflated.
