Mystery of the Boy in the Silver Balloon

On October 15, 2009, America was gripped by the drama of a silver balloon and the boy who was supposed to be on board. On television, the silver balloon, which was shaped like a flying saucer, was shown to be floating at a high speed, and tension mounted as people speculated on the safety of the boy named Falcon Heene.

Throughout the flight of the balloon, there was a frantic search and chase. In fact, the Denver International Airport was closed for a short while as planes were rerouted and military helicopters were used in an attempt to save the boy. After 2 hours and 50 miles, the silver balloon landed softly, but there was no sign of Falcon! Where is he? Could he have fallen off? The whole saga came to an end when it was discovered that Falcon was hiding in the attic because his father, Richard Heene, had yelled at him earlier, when he got inside a compartment in the silver balloon.

As the silver balloon lifted off, one of his brothers claimed that he saw young Falcon inside the compartment. When the Heene family was interviewed by CNN, Falcon said that he heard his family calling for him but he didn't come out because his father had said, "...we did this for a show." Was it really a publicity stunt? The fact that Richard Heene and his wife Mayumi had appeared in the TV game show "Wife Swap" and the three Heene boys had featured in a rap video on Youtube may suggest that they crave the limelight, but the truth may not be so simple. If you see the silver balloon flying off at such a speed and you think that your son is in it, what will you do?
