As I’ve already mentioned, this whole balloon boy story seems to be getting better and better by the moment. Here’s a video (presumably released by the family) showing the Heene family involved in releasing the homemade helium balloon which eventually led to a desperate search for 6-year-old Falcon Heene who was believed to be trapped inside the balloon in mid-air.

It turns out however that the boy was hiding in the attic and that it was possibly all for show. Hmm…

This is what Falcon said: “You had said that, um, we did this for the show.”

SAY WHAT. Now I’m even more confused.
