Update: Fox News Says 6-Year-Old Found Alive; He Was Hiding in Garage

Update:

6-year-old Falcon Heeny was found hiding in an attic inside a garage. His brother consistently lied and said he saw Falcon climb into the balloon before it took off. Supposedly the kid was hiding because he was afraid of getting in trouble.

Questions remain such as why did the brother lie and say he saw his brother climb into the balloon? And why was he up on the roof filming the balloon take off with a video camera?

Now the family will get exactly what they wanted all the time: more TV face time and loads of attention from the gullible media.

Update:

A runaway homemade storm chaser balloon that was believed to carry a 6-year-old child has landed in Colorado. Law enforcement officials found nobody inside. The focus is now on the missing child. Witnesses tell the local media they thought they saw something fall out of the balloon.

Investigators are interviewing the parents who in the past appeared with their 3 children on “Wife Swap” reality tv shows.

The father has a history of building experimental devices such as this balloon to chase storms. He also claims to be a psychic. He is alleged to have responded, “Your guess is as good as mine,” when asked if he knew where his son was.

A 6-year-old Denver boy climbed into a homemade flying saucer and took off. This is big news in Colorado right now as news helicopters track the thing flying at 10,000 feet at 25 mph.

The boy’s older brother watched the child climb through an access door and somehow it went airborne?

Officials are scrambling trying to figure out how to bring it down. Of all the dumb things. Why would anyone build a flying saucer balloon that a 6-year-old can climb into and fly?

Anyway, if the balloon ever comes down, I’ll update this post.

Thanks to loyal reader Eboni E. for the tip!

    So sad, he probably scared and having fun, and how the hell it just became air born *side eye* at the brother.

    What if this ballon crashes they say how thin the part is where hes sitting is no way it will hold up. Or what if it comes down near the traficc which they say its heading to.

    It looks like it’s deflating and losing altitude. I’m getting dizzy watching the thing. If helium is powering this thing then I hope the thing is very well vented. Can a human live in a helium environment? :(

  6. 6

    where are u watching it??

  7. 7

    im trying to figure out all the army folks and folks who highly trained in rescue why would it be so hard to fly above him and rope on down and get him out

  8. 8

    “”The Larimer County Sheriff’s Department said the helium balloon had been at the boy’s family home in Fort Collins. The boy got into the craft and undid the rope anchoring it.”" -cnn.com


    so um…. his family LIVED in that thing??? :blink:

    I just got back from lunch and was watching this on the news at home. Who dares to bet a buck his dad is white? Sandra it does seem to be losing helium. Last I saw, I could see the ground. He was high in the clouds at first. Yes he will be a hero if he survives. African Dude as a mother my heart sank when I first saw this, while at the same time I was cracking up because some kids really are more mischiefous than others and do the darndest things.

    ~~~~~
    They know that as long as he is airbound until it gets dark and cold little dude will be ok. The longer they take to rescue him the rescue team gets a bigger dose of being a hero. Plus President Obama was in N.O. and CNN got to preempt him.

  27. 27
    Daisy says:

    Can they OPEN the door and see if he is in there dang

  28. 28

    It was designed as a storm chasing balloon. It landed safely on the ground and it’s surrounded by faa officials and paramedics

  29. 29

    Is there some reason why they can’t just open the door?

  41. 41

    It’s a closed balloon so I don’t know how the kid could have gotten in it. Somebody is in trouble if this is a hoax. The older brother (who is very suspect) said his brother may have fallen out. But I doubt that.

    Why is this family on CNN? They got what they wanted, attention. Do those kids have the swine flu. They are coughing and sneezing and don’t even know how to cover their mouths, that’s how my hubby got sick. Them kids look like they have no disapline because they can’t even sit still in thier chairs. If I was thier mama I would have popped them along time ago. A kid learns to sit paitently while in church after a few pops.
