The boy in the balloon from Colorado just turned into a hoax.  Innovations are boundless in modern day life. People do experiment in each and every thing. Also one needs to take care about the possible outcomes that result from the experiments.  Sadly, the boy was never in the balloon at all. It is quite strange that people do not take useful lessons from previously done experiments. The evasive attitude of experiment designers can backfire them mercilessly. In recent time, there was a case reported boy in balloon.

The case revolves about mysterious experiment carried out by parent. The bottom line of this incident is that boy was suspected to be trapped inside the hot balloon, but he was safe at home. Also this incident caught up with media. This was blown beyond the limits. Initially, Heene and his wife tried to create a cheap travel in hot air balloon. So they decided to create a hot air balloon for traveling at shorter altitude.

This was tested one day near their home, but the experiment had much more to offer the family. The couple’s kid Falcon had gifted torrid time to his parents. Before the start of experiment, Heene had shouted at boy for doing some mischievous activities. This made the kid to worry so in order to evade his parents, he had got into hot air balloon. This was noticed in some video footage taken during the time of launch of hot air balloon.

The balloon was launched at this moment without noticing Falcon inside it. This created havoc in their locality that boy had traveled inside the balloon. But after some hours, boy was found at attic. He had escaped from balloon before it was launched and was playing with toys sheltered inside the box in Attic.

Balloon boy and his story has taken the world by storm.  His events lead to a frantic craze over him and put him in almost every newscast.  His story started at approximately  11 am  on October  15th 2009 when a  Balloon is accidentally released from the Heene home on Fossil Ridge Drive near Fort Collins, Colo.  A home video later released shows a distraught mother and upset father as the balloon lifts into the air from the back yard. Three minutes later his father called the police that the balloon launched and that the boy may be inside.

Soon later his dad called the media asking for a helicopter to track the balloons whereabouts.  The drama did not end there as more and more people became aware of what was happening and soon after even the coast guard got in on the action.  The balloon was later spotted in the air but there was still one major concern , how do you even get the balloon down.

Balloon boy was later found safe at home.  He was apparently there the whole time. He was hiding in a cardboard box in the attic above the garage. However  this whole dramatic story turned out to be a huge hoax. The parents lied about the whole thing to improve their so called chances to get their own reality show about their lives as mad scientist.  It is pretty sad that someone would do this to their own child just for their own fifteen minutes of fame.

The Balloon boy saga continues with the news that the whole thing was a hoax.  According to numerous sites it was actually a publicity stunt intended to get the family a reality-television show, but instead the family could get slapped with felony charges, authorities said Sunday.  Sherrif Jim Alderden was heard saying at a press conference that the boy's parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, had planned the pathetic  scheme for at least two weeks before launching the homemade balloon Thursday and starting the Balloon Boy drama. Alderden said his office was likely to recommend that the parents be charged with felonies. What is most surprising is that they may have had help, even from some entertainment media.

This isn’t the first time the family has been on the television, the couple has twice appeared on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap. They had also discussed a reality show with the production company of that show.
The possible charges that balloon boys family can face carry maximum penalties of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

They can also be billed for the rescue operation, which included the sheriff's departments of three counties, two Air National Guard helicopters and the rerouting of flights from Denver International Airport but these cost have not yet been tallied. It has been said that it's unlikely the Heenes will serve prison time, given that this apparently would be their first offense and that Colorado, amid a severe budget crunch, is releasing even violent offenders early from prison.  So hopefully the balloon boy is handed over to a good family for a while his parents go under some serious testing.
