Balloon dad says he has something to day according to reports

This is really good stuff...
When balloon Dad came out of the house with the box...I’m thinking this guy is such a media hound, he’s bringing out a box o donuts to the news crews....
The looks on crews faces were classic... They had “”WTF”” written all over them.
Or better yet, the balloony bin.
Cross-Kook humor!
It is kind of comical - but there is still this “sick, sad, tragic” component to it.
He sure as hell ain’t the stablest pier on the coast...
Probably make an announcement, but in a language not spoken on Earth.
You will have to watch a utube vid to decode it...
Too funny.
I won the Publisher's Clearing House grand prize.....where's the van?
My Question: How did they eventually find the kid in the garage??
Was the kid wearing a watch??
Did the father discourage folks from searching the attic??
Daddy didn't know this was his kid's hiding place?? The brothers didn't know How the heck did the little one learn of it?? That's what bros are for...
“.... I am selling these balloons and here is where you can buy one...”
“But wait, there’s more!”

USA Today punked!
Well, is it Ten AM yet?
Anywheres? Some time zone?
Ten AM on Sirius?
It’s no doubt a hoax. A freakish balloon mishap that attracts the attention of the world and turns out to involve not some no-name family, but of all the million possible families out there it just so happens to be one that has been obsessed with living in (and off of) the public spotlight, doing whatever it takes to attract attention (reality tv, storm chasing, junk-science, vulgar rap video starring the children doing and saying crude things, even trying to work some crazy deal with Jimmy Kimmel). What are the odds this huge media event just happened to happen to them by accident?
And the odds keep growing. For then it turns out the boy was hiding in the attic all the time, apparently the one place in the house that the parents didn’t think to check (gee, if it was me i’d have checked under every bed, in every closet, down in the basement, up the attic, even up the chimney for that matter). Then with everyone thinking this might be a hoax, lo and behold the boy blurts out that he didn’t come out when called because it was part of the show. So again, what are the odds here? What are the chances of the kid blurting out exactly what everyone suspected but somehow he really didn’t mean it the way it sounded? And then the kid starts throwing up on national tv (how often do you see someone do that on tv?). And then a video comes out showing the liftoff and it just happens to catch the father getting all upset and setting the stage for what was to follow. Very odd, and the odds of all this happening by accident rather than design keep dwindling to next to zero.
It’s all part of the show, like the kid said. A three ringed circus. Reality TV, brought to you by the news media.
Dad won the Nobel Peace Price?
So the kid did something TOTALLY DIFFERENT from what he'd done in the past and hid in the attic ??????
This can really mess up a kid...loyalty to dad...or the truth...
I really hope they leave the kid alone and find another way to find the truth...
This might be a hoax, but I certainly would not believe it based on what a 6 year old has to say. A six year old is not a valid source of information.
I havent been following this saga. I am sure most of you have seen the thing about him farting on TV...around the 5 minute mark.
He looks like such a sleazebag

For it to NOT have been a hoax the following “coincidences” had to take place: The balloon had to suddenly untether on its own AT THE SAME TIME the 10 year old brother mistakenly “witnessed” Falcon climb in the balloon; AND, at the exact same time, Falcon also had to vanish for hours -(he must have fallen out)- & coincidentally Falcon did vanish for hours because his dad happened to scare him earlier in the day, and while everyone is looking under every rock for him, they don’t even think to look in his favorite hiding spot... and, as you point out, how incredibly coincidental that this freakish event all happened to a family that is dying for the media spotlight

Unless that balloon has a history of getting loose on this guy this video taken I guess by one of the kids shows dear old daddy right there when this thing takes flight. And there is NO way he could have believed his kid was hiding in the darn thing.
