Authorities in Colorado arrested the now infamous balloon that led a high speed chase across multiple states late last week and are expected to file charges in relation to the ‘balloon boy’ hoax that gripped America last week.

Citizens from coast to coast were glued to their televisions waiting the balloon ride out with wonders and wages bet on whether or not a little boy named ‘Falcon’ would live or die from a wild balloon ride that was captured on live television and gave true journalists a much needed break from the 24/7 news cycle.
Authorities are expected to Richard Heene with regard to his role in the hoax and are looking into the true identity of ‘six year old Falcon.’ Falcon is believed to be master drug smuggler, 54 year old Miguel Liguemas from Bogota, Columbia –the man who is responsible for 93% of the cocaine supply that enters the United States.

Mary Ramsey, a 42 year old housewife from Springfield, Florida had this to say about the situation, “I stayed glued to the television thinking that a little kid was going to fall out of the balloon on live TV. I missed my appointment at the dialysis center because I didn’t want to miss the moment he fell. My kids’ dinner was delayed for hours because I was watching and waiting along with the rest of America.”
When asked how she felt once little Falcon was found safe and sound she replied, “I felt empty inside. I had hours of live, tragic, death built up inside of me and when it was all over all I was left with was nothing but a safe and unharmed little boy. My first thoughts were that I’m angry as heck and that somebody should go to jail for this.
Mike Rosato, a reporter for a 24/7 news station based out of Silver Springs, ND had this to say, “These live feeds that grip America for hours on end are a true blessing for us in the business as it finally gives us all a couple of hours of downtime for sleep. Us newscasters are usually up for the entire 24/7 news cycle and usually only need three to four hours of sleep once a week. This really helped us out, but I don’t appreciate sleep gained off of a false news story. Somebody should pay.”
Sherri Smith, a former model and self described gold-digger from Manhattan, NY had this to say, “I sure hope that they don’t officially make the connection between Falcon and Miguel Liguemas. If there’s one thing I know in life it’s this; models love cocaine and rich men have the money to keep habits up. I don’t think that my nose can take a dried up supply, even if it’s only for a day or two.”
