US Balloon Drama: Missing Boy Found Alive A six-year-old boy who was feared to have floated away in a homemade helium balloon has been found alive, US police say. Falcon Heene was discovered hiding in a box in the attic of a garage at the family's home in Fort Collins, Colorado. The silver, flying saucer shaped balloon, which is about 20ft across, had drifted off after coming loose from its moorings - apparently with Falcon inside. The boy's brother said he saw the six-year-old climbing into the contraption before it became untethered. The runaway balloon soared up to 7,000ft in the air and reached speeds of 25mph. It drifted for miles across the Colorado skies before landing gently in the desert after slowly deflating. Rescue workers, who grabbed the object as it floated down to the ground, opened it and failed to find Falcon.

  Rusty yes I was young once, still am, but I don't think that this stunt was a 'great prank' no.                                                                                                                                                                                 

I'm telepathetic, me

I'm sorry but have we all missed something here- the kid was called Falcon????....or is this just my mind??                                                                                                                                                                                

aaaah well spotted HG, at least someone on here has a brain cell 

I was once burgled and had my car stolen by someone i let in called Dunby...doh!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

pronounced 'done by' for those without a brain cell                                                                                                                                                                               

Mr Heene was asked by an interviewer to ask his son why he had not emerged from his hiding place when he heard his parents calling out his name. Speaking hesitantly at first, Falcon answered: "You had said that we did this for a show." Pressed on what his son might have meant, Mr Heene struggled for an answer, saying that his son must have been confused by the family's previous appearance on Wife Swap. Some people are just not happy with there first 15 mins of fame !!                                                                                                                                                                             

I wonder if any1 thought to do a thorough search of the house before looking else where for the child. glad the child was found safe though                                                                                                                                                                             

Speaking hesitantly at first, Falcon answered: "You had said that we did this for a show."



Numpties!

It's one thing if it's a kid letting a practical joke get out of hand, but if the parents were in on it?! Ye gads!

Time to present them with a very large bill methinks.
