No kid in balloon, either he fell out or its a hoax

Been watching it all on FOX News. The newcasters have been pure comedy gold. Asking over and over again "Have they looked under the bed yet?"

Quite funny when it landed some guy was just beating the crap out of the balloon with a spade!

7000 feet - bloody hell.

Any word of the boy ??

Only in USA.

Fox news has just reported that the police have searched the house high and low including under the bed and no sign of the boy yet. They are reports that something fell out of the balloon shortly after take off. The next rumour Fox are putting out is that the family took part in Wife Swap USA but he doesn't believe there is a connection. As you say only in America!

The wee ballix let it loose and was never inside it at all, is now hiding as he knows he's been a bad boy.

Capt Pat · October 15, 2009, 11:28:37 PM

He's alive.

Found in the attic apparently

The ultimate (parental) paradox: "We're going to kill you, we thought you were dead!"

Capt Pat · October 16, 2009, 12:41:05 AM

The parents of this kid might be a bit special I think. Wait for this one to play out, the police have been made look like fools.

The lad's name was Falcon. Coincidence?

It is not the 6 y.o.'s fault; I'd be skelping the older brother's arse.

stephenite · October 16, 2009, 05:09:04 AM

Looking like a setup/hoax now
