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.
sorry but sh!t is mad funny…lmfao, i can only imagine that little boy flying..i bet he aint scared though..leave it to the parents..smh, he`s going to be a freaking hero when/if he gets back to school
HUH??? *SIDE-EYE*
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?
where are u watching it??
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
“”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???
ok nevermind… i didnt see “at” lol
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.
Jesus take the wheel.
blank stare. i just heard this nonsense.
Where are this white boys parents! I know he’s white black boys don’t do this bullshit.
This is outrageous his parents should be charged with manslaughter if this boy dies this is outrageous, outrageous!
Sandra you know its making my dizzy azz even dizzier I had to stop watching but it is moving FAST as well get out or it was when I was watching.
How many parents BEAT HIS AZZ once he back on land safe and sound???
yea daisy that thing is moving fast!!!! i hope he stays safe
Charles i actually agree
@Anna
IF SO then lets file this under:
WHITE People who have entirely TOO MUCH TIME on their hands
BTW if it was a black kid and airports having to shut-down OR re-route flights… THEY would shoot that MF-er down ASAP
Urggggggg wayvhing this is making me sooo mad why the hell cnat they get this dman thing down.
East i so agree with you
Omg they just reported that he might have fallen out due to an unlock door
@elove
They act like they dont know if he is even still in it. I hope he didnt fall out this is just to much and I cant watch cause its making me dizzy but im nosey and want to see lol
I am a mother so I am praying for him but my first instinct was to LMAO! Please forgive me! I agree AM Jesus take the wheel.
The balloon is less than 200 feet off the ground.
@elove they have suspended some flights in Denver per cnn
It’s on the ground.
IT LANDED FINALLLY

~~~~~
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.
Can they OPEN the door and see if he is in there dang
It was designed as a storm chasing balloon. It landed safely on the ground and it’s surrounded by faa officials and paramedics
Is there some reason why they can’t just open the door?
There’s no kid in that thing, lol.
where is the boy?!?!?! omg.. did he fall out??? noooooooo
^^^ Auntie that is not funny this is sooo sad
This smells like a hoax. There is no child in there.
wait did he fall? Where is he?
His azz ain’t in there.
he not in there
When I first saw this I thought it was a hoax. How would the boy get in there and close it?
but his brother said he got in, so he must have fallen out, the door was unlocked
Oh my god! This is too much!
THEY SAID THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED…HE MAY HAVE FALLEN OUT…
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.

“““““““““““
so where the f-u-c-k is little andrew( sorry y`all thats how i call little white boys), i swear these people need to stop playing with folks emotions…..*frowns*
Ok so now they dont know if he EVER got in the aircraft at all again this is to much
There were earlier reports that they were afraid he had fallen out. Also, this family appeared on an episode of “Wife Swap” a little ways back. The dad is a storm chaser/psychic weirdo or something like that.
WHERES WALDO
SOMETHING AINT RIGHT….
Oh, I’m watching FOX news. Shep didn’t mention the door was unlocked. The door wasn’t open when it landed. So I doubt he fell out. I think this is a hoax.
white people…..smh
If this is a publicity they are in hell of alot of trouble. But i hop eoit is a hoax. Plus they said the family was on that show “Wife Swap”
Just reading the posting…I am glad that he had landed
!!!!
Mrs K.
Get out of my head
Now Shep is saying they’re searching the woods where a woman said she saw something fall out two hours ago. OK, it took two hours for her to report this information?
Just read through post 1 to 37 and went from shock to disbelief to prayerful/hopeful to anger. This is another good reason for blogs and its a factual story… Anyway, back to work…
so yea if the door wasnt open when it landed then that boy probably was never in there. if this is a joke that family needs to be put in jail.

~~~~~~~~
I remember the family. This is a hoax, his kids seemed smart enough to know better. He got so excited that he made something that worked he had to share it with all of us and our tax payer dollars trying to rescue an imaginary kid.
According to CNN, it landed, no one inside.
his name falcon maybe he ….naw i wont go there
Shep just made the point that if the boy fell out the door then the helium would have leaked out. My conclusion: hoax.

stop it i say
sorry ya’ll this is the craziest mess I have ever heard of. I hope the little boy did not found out but he need his arse wooped when they find him. Damn Johnnie! white kids.. and they think our kids are bad.
And now back to your regularly scheduled blogging…
This is a hoax. The family appeared on Wife Swap. SMDH. I knew they had to be white.

Definitely smells like a hoax.
I had to turn Ryan Cameron off and go to cnn this is better than a movie
of course they were white. black people have old beat up cars in their yards, not flying saucers. smh
Can we talk about the black? Taco at Taco Bell.
lmao. i saw the commercial about that black taco
As soon as they said, “no boy inside” the first thing I thought was, “HOAX”. The way the economy people will do anything to cash in on a situation. I hope the boy is alright, and this is not a hoax. They are going to have to pay for all that re-routing airplanes and using all this extensive resources…wow
now i understand why white people be having leashes on there kids never understood that until now

Just don’t eat it. What’s the big deal? You’ve never seen black bread?
I use to love me some Falcons Crest back in the day
The little boy was never in the balloon. The door was closed. He never fell out. If he was in the balloon and fell out how could be door close by itself? white people…i swear white people you never know which one is nuts..mofos just wake up one morning and go their nutjob adventures..smh
i wanna know….
how did they get to the exact spot where the balloon landed?
Two hours of my time wasted. I hope they arrest the parents for putting their child in danger.
I shouldnt be laughing because I have a small little boy…but…..
Hope he’s safe :praying:
Ya’ll’s comments about white folks are cracking me up! (Most of them were born uninhibited.) How does my husband put it: If it’s all white, it’s all right. Now let that have been a black childdddddddd, he’d be called every thug/ni@@er/problem child in the book!
Okay so was this a hoax? Damn I am at work, doing some work, and can’t watch CNN at the moment
!!!
2thick they dont know yet. no one knows where the boy is
@Sandra, the only black bread I’ve seen is molded bread. Blank stare.

Singing…
October fools go to school tell ya teacher she’s a fool if she hits you with a bat turn around and slap her back.
Guess this is a trick not a treat
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
A neighbor said the 6-year-old’s brothers were up on the roof with a video camera filming this balloon take off. That hardly sounds like the child mistakenly took off in the balloon.
IF IT IS A HOAX – THEY NEED TO BE PUNISHED! THAT’S CRAZY!

Damn, I have not heard that in so long. I don’t remember my kids coming home singing it.
Was that really the Dad’s answer regarding his son’s wherabouts????
Damn, some people just don’t need to reproduce.
So in other words we still don’t know if he even got in the hot air ballon at all??
Have the parents released a statement yet?
Your guess is as good as mine
Lmfaoooooooooooooo
I don’t even know what to say
well..well i said it, that man is a nutjob…..*sighs*

Now they’re saying the container could not have lifted off the ground with a 6-year-old inside it.
@ Anna
LOL. Damn, I missed that part. So he claims he psychic?? LOL.
Well then his psychic a** shoulda predicted this whole damn crazy a** ordeal.
The whole damn family needs their a**es whooped. Get the extension cords, belts, and switches ready.
Line em up one by one.

Sandra I hate that ole DARK BLACK/BROWN bread and I am a bread junkie! Thats the southerner in me my grandaddy made us eat a piece a bread with fruit. We couldnt get a peach or apple w/o getting a slice of bread as well so its in my blood. I LOVE the bread at O Charleys, Quincys, Red lobster, gladys chicken n waffles and boston market!
What in the WHO? This is INSANE … If this is a HOAX, these parents need to held accountable.
SR the father didn’t really respond saying that! Who builds a air ballon and allows a 6 yr old inside?
The parents should be arrested for neglect. Why were two little kids up on the roof with a video camera?
Is there a
icon?
Ms. Sandra
I USE to go to Outback here in the Chi-Suburbs AND that BREAD was so good… I mean a NICE hot mini loaf with some butter and salad while waiting for my Well-Done Steak meal ALONG WITH my Long Island Ice-Tea(s) of course
Daisy Says:

I don’t care for Outback Steakhouse’s bread, but the lobster tails are off the chain! Way better than the lobster at Twist in Buckhead. Twist’s lobster tastes like wood.
What time do they get out of school in Colorado? Today is not a holiday.
Shunda I was thinking the same thing unless they are home schooled
Sandra I have not been to Twist in years and have never eaten there only had a few drinks
iyonah Says:

They are white kids. White kids are always on someones roof top. Haven’t you ever watched America’s Funniest Home Video’s, speaking of that show, it’s been on for years and I never saw any black folks in the videos, only in the audience.
@ Sandra
The parents was prolly hoping the other two kids would jump off the roof.
This ish is crazy.
Who builds ballons in the backyard anyway? Were the parents trying to get rid of the child?? He supposedly in a damn homemade balloon that was airborn for two hours, and now he is missing?
What the eff was really good with these two parents?
all food talk got me hungry
phuckery at its finest and all of america’s gasping, as they’re been snatched by the nuts with this mess. someone please go check the kids room. he’s under his bed asleep. i cant believe this is all over the news and internet.
what folks wont do for attn. i have no empathy with dumb ish. this here is dumb ish.
E – are you talking about the one in Calumet City…lol I went there once. I don’t like Outback (I like that brown bread though. Houlihans has it also). I tried the one in Cal City and in Vegas and both were Epic Fails IMO.
Now when I went to Disney World back in July we went to this luau and they had this pineapple bread OMG! that bread was FIYAH.
Do you know I’ve NEVER been to a chicken and waffle house? When I come to Atlanta next year I will probably OD on it…lol We went to IHOP last time I came to the A. I was outvoted…bishes.
It should be obvious to everyone that such a small object — even filled with helium — could not support a 6-year-old in the air. It wouldn’t even leave the ground.
@Shauny
It’s BEEN awhile for me, That’s when I was doing alot of driving because the city RARELY had any good places for family-outings… And yeah the Cal-city got SORRY REAL FAST
I’ve been to the Waffle House in MS several times… My ex-wife from Ms and when I USE to frequent the A on the regular I NEVER went to one (Go Figure)
MSNBC has reported that the little boy has been found…was home the whole time…in the attic in the garage in a box. ??
Shauny gladys is overated outside of the corn muffins n uptown drink a mix of tea and lemonade now that drank is so GOOD!!!! Loves it the rest of the food is hit or miss IMO
he found time for the whooping
who watches GLEE, mercedes need a record deal
right, like i thought. his lil ass was in the house. dad knew it. he just wanted attn for his wack inventions. the whole family get the side eye.
@point My thoughts exactly!! Something definitely doesn’t sound right. Dag on shame.
I think the big brother planned the whole thing myself.
Daisy – is there a Gladys in the A you’re talking about? Now I know we have a Gladys in the Chi which is a soul food flae. I don’t want to go anywhere that the cornbread and a drink are the highlights of my meal…lol
Shauny Says:

********************************************
The dad was in on it. His nonchalant answer about where his son was proves that he knew the boy was safe. He also knew that balloon couldn’t hold a 6-year-old and fly.
lock em all up…! and call child protective services

We all knew that kid was hiding somewhere — and not because he was scared either.
The father knew where he was.
WHy isn’t CNN or Fox News asking why the parents didn’t search the attic? HELLO: because they knew the kid was there!

Ahh, dang Gladys Knight has a chicken and waffles. Note to self don’t go there when I visit..lol
Sandra I haven’t even watched except for my local news. The story was too crazy. I see charges coming in their future.
Hey Daisy on our radios 411 this morning they said that Chrianna’s friends (on both ends) are tricking saying they’re still sneaking and seeing each other. Did you hear that?
I couldn’t wait to come here and read the comments after he was found. LOL@pointhimout
@Shuany *clutches my pearls* GIRL STOP I say I did not hear that now they know getting their
on is a 
bless their hearts
I wonder if she is really going to perform on GMA next mth
I knew the little boy wasn’t in there because as soon as that thing landed and i had seen how you get out of there i knew that child was hiding in the house some where.And i remembered them off of wife swap and they were some rude kids.
pumperknickel bread by the way……. at outback….
gdnight
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.
What a waste of time!!!
Please do not give this story anymore attention SR!
