Balloon Boy

By Eliza Samuelson

Only two weeks ago a young boy, Falcon Heene was supposedly in the sky flying high above ft. Collins Colorado in the balloon the family had built in their backyard. When actually hours later the balloon came down and no little boy was inside the huge contraption. The balloon had flown 50 miles over Colorado landing in Loveland. Later we discovered that the very frightened boy was actually hiding in the family attic and he came out asking “why did I have to hide daddy?” when the family appeared on Good Morning America, Falcon couldn’t hold back the truth or barf any longer, and yes the boy did puke on live television. And when asked, “why did u hide.” He simply replied with a shy “ umm we did this for the umm show.” Patrick Heene the father let out a sigh, also Falcon was asked, “did you hear people calling your name?” and he responded with a “mmm hmm I did” then the father asked “so why didn’t you come out?” and little Falcon said “ you and mommy told me not to.” Now due to this desperate search for fame they might face severe charges and time in jail.
