FORT COLLINS (YBH.ME) – A boy who allegedly was carried away in a homemade hot air balloon is a reality TV actor featured on ABC’s “Wife Swap.”

The nation was gripped this afternoon by the story of a six year-old boy trapped in a out of control hot air balloon.  The balloon landed outside of Denver this afternoon after spending about two hours in flight.  When authorities “popped” the balloon no one was inside.

Reports have surfaced that the boy purported to be inside the balloon was Falcon Heene who was on ABC’s “Wife Swap” last year.

If the incident turns out to be a publicity stunt gone wrong expect a media circus to ensue.

    I watched it live on my laptop in bed in New Zealand……Apart from the newscaster getting it completely wrong saying the boy was in there when he clearly was not….(The news caster should watch his own images) The technology and coverage was superb. However I am starting to smell a rat……There is maybe too much family video and material available on the net for it to be just an accident….Sorry the Cynic is coming out in me!

    I think the states should send these people the bill for the searching they did,and the couple should be charged with making false statements or something, isn't there a law against making false 911 calls.
    What people won't do to get their face in front of a camera!
