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!
