Latest News: Bird-brain Kathy Griffin 'Falcons' up on CNN again: Slips F-bomb into New Year's Eve show Best Known As: Other Gist: The Colorado balloon incident (also known as the Heene Hoax, Balloon Boy Hoax, or Balloon Boy Incident[1]) occurred on October 15, 2009, when a six-year-old was mistakenly believed to have floated away in a home-made balloon, attracting world-wide attention.[2][3] Falcon Heene, of Fort Collins, Colorado, was believed to be traveling at altitudes reaching 7,000 feet (2,100 m)[2] in a homemade helium balloon colored and shaped to resemble a silver flying saucer-type of UFO.[4][5][6] Falcon, referred to as the "Balloon Boy" by some media outlets,[7] had reportedly climbed into the balloon, after which it became untethered and launched. After an hours-long flight that covered more than 50 miles across three counties,[8] the balloon landed about 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Denver International Airport. The boy was not found inside the balloon, prompting fears he had fallen out of the balloon; it was reported that an object had detached from the balloon and fallen to the ground.[5] A search was conducted for the child, and later that afternoon he was eventually reported to have been hiding at his house the whole time.[9] In an interview with Wolf Blitzer on Larry King Live that evening, in response to a question about why he was hiding, Falcon said to his father, "You guys said that, um, we did this for the show." This added to speculation that the incident was a hoax and publicity stunt engineered by the boy's father, Richard Heene.[10] On October 18, Larimer County sheriff Jim Alderden announced his conclusion that the incident was a hoax, and that the parents would likely face several felony charges.  read more about Falcon Heene
