The bizarre incident involving the "Balloon Boy" began on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009, when a homemade balloon aircraft owned by the Heene family took off from their Fort Collins, Colo., home. It was believed that the Heenes' 6-year-old son, Falcon, was on board the craft when it accidentally lifted off.
