Balloon Boy
It's a bird...it's a plane...it's a hoax! Did the Heene's think they had accidentally launched their son in a UFO-shaped balloon into the sky, which turned into a more than an hour chase involving the police and National Guard helicopters? Or was this a publicity stunt to launch their upcoming Wife Swap episode and their reality TV ambitions?
