Falcon is one of the 3 sons of  Richard Heene, a weather chaser and an amateur scientist.

It was learned that on that day, his 2 brothers were on the roof of their house in the Fort Collins, Colorado, with a camera. They’re commenting on what Falcon did on the ground where the baloon-like craft was tethered.

It was reported that Falcon got into the baloon-like craft when it was loosen by himself.

Mercury News reported,

Officials from Larimer, Weld and Adams counties worked this afternoon with the Federal Aviation Administration and assistance from the 9News helicopter to track the balloon. It was aloft about three hours, sometimes drifting as high as 8,000 feet.

The balloon traveled about 50 miles during its flight and hit estimated speeds of about 30 mph. At times, it gained altitudes and then dropped as it flew in and out of rising thermals.

It made a soft landing in a Weld County field. When Falcon was not found with the balloon, a massive search for him was launched from Fort Collins across Weld County to the Adams County border.

Later he was found hiding in a box in the attic of his family’s home Thursday.

At first the incident was believed to be real. But Falcon himself revealed during the interview by a news network that everything was for the show and was therefore a hoax.

Now, the Henee couple are accused of faking their 6-year-old son’s disappearance Thursday that triggered a massive rescue effort. This is the realization of the authorities after learning that Richard Henee is really trying to land another show and became famous.

A certain Linda Lee told the Associated Press, “Heene believes the world is going to end in 2012. Because of that, he wanted to make money quickly, become rich enough to build a bunker or something underground, where he can be safe from the sun exploding.“
