The father and son had apparently been working on the aircraft for some time.
"This sort of thing is normal for them," the neighbor told reporters who were gathered outside the Heene home in Fort Collins.

it isn't unusual for fathers and sons to work on making shit. just usually it is like a tree house instead of a ufo that will kill your child after it gets windy.

That was an incredible television moment for the ages, assuming the kid is not dead.

Yeah, they wouldn't act like that if he was still inside.

kid fell out early?
― aarrissi-a-roni, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
so if this kid fell out i can't imagine how they'd go about trying to track him down
― circa1916, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't understand. This ordeal has been at least half-an-hour. Is it a confirmed, intentional hoax? If not, have authorities located the child?
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Was he not inside because he was never inside or because he fell out?xpxpxpxpxp

I'm sure it must've been a mistake, or a prank. Looked like there was no hole in the balloon for a kid to get in or fall out of.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link
sibling is only witness to see him enter the balloon.

It must've been early if he fell, how quickly were they able to get a visual on it?
― Music should never have changed anymore after my mid 80s (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link

it would be awesome if the kid was totally hiding in the basement

So, reality TV dad hoaxer? Or did the kid fall out in mid-air?
― Hatch, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:43 (fourteen years ago) link
They have a balloon expert on and they're asking him if the kid is probably dead, wtf

If it's the kid playing a prank he's gonna get grounded for sure.
