Grounded Balloon Boy Falcon Heene’s Rap Video
SIX-YEAR-Old Falcon Heene is falling through the skies in his dad’s home-made air balloon. Look! Look! Look!
6 Year Old Colorado boy Falcon Heene falls out home made balloon
Nooooooooo!
Heene said, “I could feel Brad hitting me on the side trying to tell me something: Falcon is in the flying saucer. That’s when I realized Falcon might actually be in the flying saucer.”
Everyone freaked out.
Scramble the TV crew!
In an interview with CNN, Falcon said he had heard his family calling his name.
“Why didn’t you come out?” Richard Heene asked.
Falcon answered: “You had said that we did this for a show.”
The show? The news right? Or some other form of entertainment?
The Heene family has appeared on the ABC show Wife Swap and the boys have featured in a rap music video on YouTube. Is there to be reality TV show about flying Heenes?
When asked to clarify the comments later, Heene bristled. “I’m kind of appalled after all the feelings that I went through, up and down, that you guys are trying to suggest something else,” he said.
Tsk!
Asked during an impromptu news conference outside his house whether the incident was a stunt, Richard Heene said: “That’s horrible. After the crap we just went through. No. No, no, no.”
But still.
A commenter on coloradoan.com said that if the incident was staged, “at minimum they need to be billed for the emergency personnel and services expended in this fiasco that has made international news.”
Maybe the media which profited by hundreds of hours of footage of a balloon can help with any bills?
So what next for Falcon the non-flying birdboy?
Asked if he would consider grounding his son, Heene replied: “We don’t ground our children. But we are going to talk to him.”
All eyes now on Mr Heene. A hoax! A hoax? A media debate about a boy who wasn’t in a balloon. Only, this story might have fed itself. Bill Johnson writes in the Denver Post:
The scenario seemed too fanciful, perhaps yet one more cover-story lie…
Still, you go and stand vigil at the grieving parents’ Fort Collins home, watch the police officers grimace and hustle, their yellow tape strung everywhere. And you await word for where the body landed.
It’s the media dumb show:
Almost every neighbor and acquaintance of the Heenes’ who had gathered outside the Fossil Ridge Drive home had called it:
The boy, they said, was probably hiding somewhere, afraid he was in trouble for making his father’s balloon fly away.
Probably. But by then no-one was listening…

The question is: Who farted? Was it the boy?
Or the mother? The two older boys looked rather astonished at the mother after the “incident”, didn’t they?
Or was ist the “scientist” himself?

Out from the mouths of babes…This reminds me of a time when a neighbour called at the house who my mother was not very fond. I was around 6 years old, she told me to go and tell her “My mums not in ” so I did just that. “My mum told me to tell you she is not in”

Smell trouble ahead! If they don’t take care the whole family will be taking off in a balloon.

I agree. A load of hot air

The flying boy’s called Falcon ??
I reckon the balloon story’s been blown up out of all proportion. I’m suprised it ever took off

Or Masons perhaps? Templars?

This story is truly crazy to me.

I am glad the boy is O.K. but I hope it was not a publicity stunt.

Or balloonists

It seems implausible to believe the family actually say one of the children video taped the 6 year old child getting into that jiffy pop balloon contraption with a supposed cardboard bottom and he could somehow be able to secure himself inside of it?? If the boy’s weight is between 40-45 lbs.and the speed of the balloon is traveling @ approximately 25 miles per hr in a 2 hour span at an elevation exceeding 500′ in the air and it finally lands around 50 miles from the home the scientist father logically explain exactly how he woud believe his son could have been inside of it? It truly defys logic and sounds like a publicity stunt or hoax of some sort. It is most unfortunate for parents to involve small children in dangerous activities, such as storm chasing, mommie swapping and bogus balloon mischief.

In my opinion, these people look and act like scam artists.
