It was all of the news for like 4 hours. The whole country was in panic about this afternoon. Everyone thought that Falcon Heenie was trapped inside a silver dome shaped craft for more than 2 hours reaching heights around 10,000 feet in the air. It seems the kid was just hiding in the attic because he was afraid of being confronted with his father.

I think this whole family is super stupid for even starting this. It's almost he dumbest thing i ever heard. Why start a hoax that will eventually destroy your family and send you to jail?

Hoax. Epic failure on the part of the parents, and the boy is just clueless. His future will be filled with jokes about him being a balloon boy.

Father was a moron, I feel sorry for the kid.
