Looking at the video: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/co ... nnSTCVideo
I could imagine a similar footage of the same scene already found it's way to a UFO conspiracy network. :P

I watched the helicopter follow the balloon for like an hour. That was a little silly now in retrospect.

The kid's name is Falcon too, how ironic

"He's been there the whole time," said a sheriff's department official."He was hiding in a cardboard box in the attaic above the garage."

These kids pulled a prank on the American media. I guess the question we all have to ask is... Is that an accomplishment?

I wasn't aware of this when it first happened.

Also, as a kid I once thought parasols opened up can really act like a parachute. D: I literally tried that, then fell on my ass and was out injured for about a week.

I think the physics guys all over the world would be going crazy about this IF the family had never been proven to be a bunch of hoaxes. Too bad the kid spoiled the fun for his family without knowing he did =p

I read in the newspaper that this was fake.
It was a scam for popularity and fame for the daddy who lied about his son in a balloon

and so you didn't read the first page in which this was mentioned twice with a pretty picture to go along with it
