So apparently, a man in Denver, Colorado, constructed a UFO type balloon. His six year old son snuck inside it and the tetered(sp?) broke and it floated away. A while ago, he balloon landed, but the boy was not found inside it.

Anyone heard about this?? Comments, concerns, worries, wishes??

He wasn't in the balloon when it landed. (assuming, of course, that anyone out there hasn't heard this yet)

I'm praying that he's found alive.

Just saw this on the news. I have a bad feeling about this,but I'm hoping for the best. :(

I heard he was hiding in a box in the attic. Parents should check where the kids are. I would hate to pay for all the military help. My friends were telling me about this at work.

Heated as in warmed up seat of the pants.

Check the latest news...apparently a hoax set up by the dad, who has already been on a reality TV show and who is a media whore. You can easily find the CNN interview in which the kid is asked why he didn't respond when called, and he says to his dad, "You said we were doing this for the show." Dad then glosses right over that.

I hate to say it, but this had "Baba Booey" written all over it right from the start. Funny how they had a website and t-shirts all set to go. Reminds me of the Hogzilla hoax a couple of years ago when the giant, dangerous wild hog hunted down and shot by a kid turned out to be a tame, farm raised pig run down in an enclosed pen in a canned hunt.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The 6-year-old Colorado boy thought to have floated off in a homemade balloon has raised questions whether it might have been a family stunt.

During a live interview on CNN, Falcon Heene said he heard his family calling his name as he hid in the rafters of their garage. At the time, there was a frantic effort to bring down the balloon safely.

Falcon's father asked, "Why didn't you come out?" The boy answered, "You had said we did this for a show."

After the CNN interview, the father said he didn't know what his son meant.

The next sound you hear will be handcuffs clicking.

Wouldn't be the first time someone "used" the media!
