Balloon boy hoax? What are your thoughts?
2009-10-19 06:52:00 Six-year-old Falcon Heene sits in the box of his family's pickup truck outside their family's home in Fort Collins, Colo., after he was found hiding in a box in a space above the garage on Thursday. (AP)So it was a hoax?At least, that's what news outlets are reporting now after Colorado authorities have said that they've found evidence that proves it was a publicity stunt.According to CNN.com, the "aha!" moment was when Falcon Heene said on 'Larry King Live,' "You guys said we did this for the show."Also, the AP reported this following paragraph, which appeared in today's RedEye:"Documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regards to the balloon incident, Alderden said....
Martians admit Balloon Boy was hoax
2009-10-18 21:12:00 The Emperor Ming the Merciless has admitted the "Balloon Boy" stunt was perpetrated by his administration in an attempt to revive tourism on Mars."We haven't had an earth man here since Flash Gordon in 1938," Ming said. "And now with NASA cutting back, we were getting a little desperate."Jim Alderden, sheriff of Fort Collins, Colorado, said he had been contemplating filing charges against Richard and Mayumi Heene, the parents of Falcon, 6, who never really was in the balloon. The cover story was that the Heenes were trying to use the balloon flight as a marketing strategy to get a reality series for themselves. Acutally, the Heenes were just Martian actors. Alderden said he didn't know what he would do...
Nobel prize awarded to Balloon Boy family for hoax
2009-10-18 20:44:00 The Nobel Prize for Nothing In Particular has been awarded to the family of the "Balloon Boy," even though it turns out that the flight was a hoax designed to get the family a reality tv series."Especially because it was a hoax. That's why they got the prize," said a source close to the Fjordsome Fivesome, the committee that awards the Nobel prizes. "We gave a prize to the President for doing nothing. This is even better. It's less than nothing. A negative. An illusion. Let's see the President top that, although he stands a good chance of doing so if his health care plan gets through." &nbs-p; ...
Balloon Boy? Try Balloon Roy! Flight was a magician stunt gone bad
2009-10-18 20:41:00 The aging magician duet of Siegfried & Roy now admits the so-called "Balloon Boy" flight was just a marketing stunt that went bad."The boy appeared to go into the balloon basket. Yes, that was part of the illusion," said Siegfried Fishbacher, who, along with Roy Horn, was trying to resurrect a career that was aborted in 2003 when Roy was bitten on the neck by a seven-year-old tiger named Montecore. "When the balloon landed, Montecore was supposed to jump out of the basket, but we think he fell out somewhere. This is terrible. This was going to be the rebirth of Montecore's career as well as ours." Fishbacher said. Jim Alderden, sheriff of Fort Collins, Colorado, had been contemplating filing...

Balloon boy found safe. What's going through your mind?
2009-10-16 00:17:00 Here at the RedEye newsroom we were captivated by CNN all afternoon by Falcon Heene. He's the little 6-year-old boy in Colorado who everyone thought was floating in a shiny balloon for hours above the state. I was standing with my editors as we watched, jaws dropped, as they caught the balloon and began slamming it with shovels."Is he in there?" we said."He can't be in there!"Turns out, he wasn't. According the CNN, Heene was found, alive and well, hiding in a box in the attic.Balloon boy Falcon Heene in a music videoWe're really relieved to hear that he's ok. But, there's a lot of yelling and chatter right now in the newsroom. I mean -- how can you not be...
Balloon boy is alive
2009-10-16 00:08:00 Balloon boy was hiding in the garage. It's going to be ok, little guy. Thank god he was at home and not in that mylar weather balloon that captivated the country as it sailed across Colorado.People are still raging on Garrard McClendon live where he wonders what's at play:There was no boy found in the balloon...where could the boy be? CNN reported a boy in a balloon flying over eastern Colorado. Was he really in the balloon? Should the owners of the helium balloon be charged with child neglect? What is a giant helium balloon doing at someone's house?It makes you wonder, knowing that his folks were on Wife Swap, was he acting out? I'm sure we'll get treated to...
Not Pussified by The Balloon Boy
2009-10-15 23:06:00 The epic high-floating drama of little Falcon Heene, a.k.a. The Balloon Boy, has led me to this hilariously ridiculous music video he starred in. Despite it's amateur look, it actually has some pretty decent production value. Some of the locations and scenes are blocked out quite well. Falcon, Chicago hopes for your safe return home. Godspeed. Update: Falcon was found hiding inside a box in the attic. So much for being "Not Pussified."...

Vermont Balloon Rally at Shelburne Museum Sept 4 - 7
2009-09-04 02:36:00 Here's another reason to visit the Shelburne Museum, a magnificent facility that I consider a must-see in Vermont. This Labor Day weekend, the Vermont Balloon Rally will be held on the grounds of the museum from September 4 through 7. About 30 balloons are expected to attend. Spectators will be allowed to walk among the balloons and watch the flights each day early mornings and late afternoons. Children are no only allowed, they're encouraged to come see this colorful event. There will also be face painting, bounce house, free rides on the museum's antique carousel, nighttime balloon glow and a balloon walkabout where kids and adults can actually walk through a partially inflated balloon lying on the ground. Rides will be offered including tethered rides and full flight rides. If you would like to do a full flight, it's best to make reservations in advance which you can do on the website. Thanks to some generous corporate sponsorship, prices for the event are very low: childre...

Cosmic Balloon Application IV: Tethered Galaxy
2009-07-06 07:00:00 The so-called 'tethered galaxy' thought experiment has created a lot of cosmic interest in the past. It is a rather complex issue with significant pedagogical value, but it is surprisingly easily and simply handled by the cosmic balloon analogy.
Cosmic Balloon Application III: Particle Momentum Decay
2009-07-02 07:00:00 We have seen how cosmic redshift can be understood as photons conserving angular momentum by 'shedding energy' in terms of frequency as the cosmic balloon expands. Is it reasonable to think that particles simply shed speed in order to also maintain a constant angular momentum? So it seems.
Cosmic Balloon Application II: Redshift
2009-06-29 07:00:00 Despite having apparently simple explanations, cosmological redshift remains one of the mysteries of the universe. Neither 'expanding space', nor Doppler shift offer a completely satisfactory answer. Here is a better one (perhaps).
