I think he is going to announce that he has contracted to sell that balloon for $19.95 real soon. Everyone can have one and if you act now they will send you 2, that's right 2 for the price of one.

He's teaming up with Jacko's dad in a new record company venture?

But wait, there’s more! If you act now, they will throw in a barfing kid for FREE!

NOW how much would you pay?

exactly...the fact that he wants everyone to tune in...”I’m having a press conference at 10 and ...it’s going to be big.” tells me it’s going to be stupid.

911 Call Transcript

Dispatcher: Okay, where was the saucer? Was it in the backyard?
Richard Heene: Uh, hello?
Dispatcher: Yes, is this Richard?
Heene: Yes, it is.
Dispatcher: Okay, how long has the six year old been missing?
Heene: Just a few minutes, uh...
Dispatcher: Was the flying saucer in the backyard?
Heene: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Okay, it obviously has electronics, which he can know how to work it and he gets it up off the air? Off the ground?
Heene: (sobbing) No. He does not know how it operates.
Dispatcher: He does not know how to operate. So, and that's gone, though, too, right? So you are sure that he's in that.
Heene: We looked everywhere, and then my son just said, verify and he said, "Yeah, he went inside then (unintelligible) went off. Then we had it tethered, it wasn't supposed to take off.
Dispatcher: Okay, and was it running then?
Heene: Well, it doesn't run, its filled with helium, and it operates off a million volts to move left and right horizontal.
Dispatcher: okay.
Heene: And uh, we were testing it to find out what effect we could get.
Dispatcher: Okay. So it was last seen 20 minutes ago?
Heene: Um, yeah, I’m losing track of time. Probably - yeah.
Dispatcher: Okay. So there's no electronics on it, there’s no tracking device, right?
Heene: No, no. Uh, I don't know if it's possible, if you guys could track the electricity that it emits? But every five minutes, it comes on for one minute, and it emits a million volts on the outer skin.
Dispatcher: Okay.
Heene: And uh, if he kicks it or touches it, he could be electrocuted.
Dispatcher: okay

This guy comes out with a cardboard box, tells the news crews to put their questions into the box, then he walks back into the house with the box....

Oh yeah!

Dontcha think a million volts would toast that thing to kingdom come...

Who does he think he is...Ben Franklin??

He probably could sell it as a toy...my grandson has a couple of toy helicopters and they're pretty expensive for what probably equates to 50 cents worth of materials and 50 cents for chinese labor.

Dad: “Falcon was on board during the whole flight but the transporter worked perfectly and transported him to the box in the garage perfectly.”
