UPDATE – Balloon Boy Falcon Henne Found In His Attic

By Germain Lussier on October 15th, 2009

Colorado-Balloon-MDNo parent wants to think about their child going missing. And they definitely don’t want him to fly away, literally. This afternoon a 6-year-old boy was believed to be caught in a run away balloon over the skies of Colorado.

After a wild, almost alien like, scene of this weird silver balloon flying across the skies of Colorado, it finally landed near Colorado Springs, CO. It was then opened and there was not a boy in it. The boy, Falcon Henne, was previously feature on the show “Wife Swap” in which his family was portrayed as eccentric storm chasers. For several hours, Falcon was believed to be missing and speculation ran wild. Well, around 6:15 p.m. EST, he was finally found in a box, in his own attic, some about 4 hours after the ordeal started.

So let’s get this straight. He wasn’t in the balloon. He wasn’t missing. He was in his house the whole time?

This story is sure to get very interesting in the next few days, and we will be following it.

On another note, doesn’t the balloon look JUST LIKE the balloon from the classic film “Flight of the Navigator?”
