This boy looks mischievous to me...look at that sly smile. The Heene family reported that their son, Falcon, had taken flight in a helium air balloon over northern Colorado. These science enthusiasts said they were working on making a "3D low-altitude vehicle" when they're six-year-old son went missing. His older brother was even in on it saying that he watched his brother untie the balloon and get into it when he knew very well that he was safely inside the house the whole time. Falcon was beleived to be in this balloon looming at 7,000 feet above ground, however the story lost some credit when ABC reported that the parents appeared on the reality show "Wife Swap" in March of 2009. But could they really be using this ridiculous lie to gain some fame? So finally, after this balloon landed 90 miles from its original spot, the rescuers found no Falcon. They thought he either never got in the balloon in the first place or worse, he fell out along the way. This sparked a widespread search across the balloon's route. But after all of the frantic searching, we soon found out that this boy was safely at home the entire time. The family is now being charged with the following offences: conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, false reporting to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant. What a bunch of nutjobs!!! What were they thinking trying to pull this off? But once again, America falls for these ridiculous shenanigans and even though it's all negative, the family got the media attention they were hoping for. But what is this world coming to with stunts like this. Looks to me like some people have a little too much time on their hands. So sad.
