Falcon Heene a.k.a. Balloon Boy, and family

The boy the internet quickly named “Balloon Boy,” has been discovered at his home in Colorado.

He was hiding in a cardboard box in the family’s attic.

Falcon was never in the experimental balloon that took off in Fort Collins, CO and finally landed 60 miles away near Keenesburg. A sibling originally had said that he saw the boy enter the craft before it took off.

Helicopters followed the balloon which flew through the air, spinning and wobbling for more than an hour. People around the world watched on the internet and on television hoping for a safe landing. Luckily, little Falcon never flew.

This isn’t the first time the Heene family has had airtime. [Pun intended, heh.] They once appeared on ABC’s Wife Swap.
