Balloonacy
Now invading Twitter, CNN, People, and an upcoming Weekly World News near you: A 6-year-old boy in Colorado named Falcon Heene, the son of a science-obsessed couple who appeared on ABC's Wife Swap, allegedly flew as high as 10,000 feet in the air after stepping inside the family's helium-powered, UFO-shaped balloon. Speculation abounds whether the boy actually stepped into the balloon before it ascended since no one was found in the aircraft after it finally landed in a field; some reports suggest that the boy is hiding in the woods for fear of recriminations, while others state that the balloon's basket detached during flight. Developing... UPDATE: According to CNN, Heene has been found alive. [HuffPost]

shame on the parents!!! they should of invented thier balloon at another location instead of thier back yard!! Instead they put thier 6 year old son in danger!! and where were the parents when all of this happened???
um, signs seem to be pointing to the kid being dead, so, that would suck.
Fear of recrimination?!
Maybe the kid is hiding out of shame. I know I'd be ashamed if my parents volunteered to be on a reality TV show. Especially one as lame as Wife Swap!
he's been found alive
"their"
RECRIMINATE HIM! and jiffy pop for that matter for continuing to make such ridiculous product.
