A Colorado family that reported their six-year-old son was trapped inside a balloon are being questioned again today amid rumours the whole thing was a publicity stunt.
On an appearance o n CNN the boy’s father asked him why he didn\t come out of the attic when his name was called. Falcon, the boy, replied that “you guys said that we did this for the show.” The father said he had no idea why his son responded that way.
The local sherriff says investigators still believe the family really thought Falconer had crawled into the balloon before it floated away from their home in Colorado.
Do you believe the family?
Or do you think the whole thing was a stunt to get publicity and money?

Stunt, duh. This wacko guy should have to reimburse the emergency services and he owes society an apology. He’s a few feathers short of a dodo bird.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire.
Out of a U.S. population of 300 million people, there’s only been a handful that have appeared on reality shows. This family has.
To then be the subject of a nation-wide human interest story that transfixed a nation and have another reality show in the works (as has been reported) is simply too much of a coincidence.
Unless proven otherwise, we are on safe ground assuming that it was indeed a hoax meant to publicize said upcoming reality show.
$10 million couldn’t buy such great publicity!
