Nothing about the 6 year old???

Nothing about the 6 year old???
« on: October 15, 2009, 09:41:02 PM »
Cliff notes -

- A family's balloon which was built to identify and make contact with aliens is released into the air.
- Older brother of 6 year old Falcon Heene claims Falcon is in a basket connected to the balloon.
- Balloon travels around Colorado.
- Every media outlet shuts down and focuses on this balloon.
- Reporters and analysts determine the possible flight path, the possibility of finding a body fallen from the air, and the potential injuries the boy could have. 
- Turns out the Heene family was on Wife Swap.  They were the weird side of the family. 
- Turns out they are geeked on proving Star Trek-esque science theories. 
- Turns out Falcon Heene was hiding in the attic alive and safe.

I saw this story break while I was at work today in Montgomery.  I left as the balloon was landing on the ground so I didn't hear how it ended, I just heard that the boy wasn't in the balloon.  Of course, everyone was predicting the worst, looking for the body on the flight path.

I just found out the dumbass was hiding in the attic the whole time.  Is it weird that I was kind of disappointed?

The kid's name was "Falcon".....

His parents had appeared on "Wife Swap"...

These fuckers are nuts and probably staged it.

Probably and the dumbass media fell for this shenanigan.

Seriously, don't you think you could spot a body impression in a shiny, oversized, mylar, whoopie cushion?
