Good deal the kid is safe. If that was a prank I hope they hang the pranker. Looks like a lot of time + money was spent looking.

i wonder how many ufo calls they got? 14,000 feet switching back and forth in the wind would definitely throw A LOT of people to that conclusion

It appears the rescue/search teams did not "save" him. IF (I did say IF) it was a prank the person/people responsible for the prank should absolutely be held accountable-and it is very likely not the 6 year old.

i was kidding although it was said he got yelled at and hid himself... so no jokes here :wink:

But Sheriff Jim Alderden turned to reporters during a news conference and gave a thumbs up and said 6-year-old Falcon Heene is "at the house." "Apparently he's been there the whole time," he said.

The boy's father, Richard Heene, said the family was tinkering with the balloon Thursday and that he scolded Falcon for getting inside a compartment on the craft. He said Falcon's brother had seen him inside the compartment before it took off and that's why they thought he was in there when it launched.

But the boy fled to the attic at some point after the scolding and was never in the balloon during its two-hour, 50-mile journey through two counties. "I yelled at him. I'm really sorry I yelled at him," Heene said as he hugged his son during a news conference.

"I was in the attic and he scared me because he yelled at me," Falcon said. "That's why I went in the attic."

Richard Heene adamantly denied the notion that the whole thing was a big publicity stunt. "That's horrible after the crap we just went through. No."

Good, a few misdemeanors and a felony will suit them just fine.
