Further dramatic footage has emerged of a hot air balloon landing in the ocean off the coast of San Diego, USA on Sunday.

In the footage, captured by a witness on the beach at sunset, the hot air balloon hovers over the water before dropping until the basket touches the waves, around 300 yards off the coast of Cardiff-by-the-Sea.

According to local reports, passenger Eric Barretto was proposing to his girlfriend in the basket when the balloon began to fly off course and over the water.

Lifeguards entered the water to try to rescue the passengers and eventually surfers managed to catch a rope from the balloon and help the three people on-board escape from the water-logged basket.

No injuries were reported.
