Any tear in that mylar balloon that allowed a 6 year old to get in it would have rendered it useless too. We’re supposed to believe the kid got in the helium balloon, which would have rendered it useless AND the weight of the kid, and it still flew???? If he sealed a 20 pound rock inside that little cockpit, it wouldn’t have flown, the helium filled top portion would have likely needed to be 5-6 times the size, easily. For a 6 year old, probably at least 10 times the size of his helium filled “UFO”.

This guy needs to confess already, his story goes beyond any and all logic.

I heard the wife’s 911 call too, she said the “UFO” was in the air 20 minutes, it took her 20 minutes to call 911? The whole thing was poorly planned.

That's not true. The bottom portion was separate from the helium filled balloon part and had a hatch for putting equipment in.

If their story is true then it is not odd at all. There had to be time for the two older brothers to tell mom and dad that Falcon crawled in it. Then they would question them strongly to see if they were kidding. Then maybe a bit of a search around to see if he was hiding. Would you call out half the state before doing a little verification of two kid's story?

I agree with your observations.
What’s puzzling is why the spokesman for the Sheriff’s Dept doesn’t seem to be bothered by the obvious discrepancies.completely
