Denver, Colorado, Oct. 17, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Ever since 6 year old Falcon Heene was thought to have flown away in a helium balloon which eventually launched a massive televised manhunt for his sake, he has zoomed in to the public eyes. Almost immediately after he was recovered (from the attic) on Friday morning, the lenses of the camera have remained trained on him.
This, many experts believe could prove to be quite harmful for young Falcon. When he had appeared on the show “Good Morning America,” host Diane Sawyer was led to ask him in concern, “Falcon, you OK there?” This had followed when Falcon had vomited in front of the camera. He had also appeared looking almost ghastly pale, which has also steeped up speculations.
On Thursday, the entire US media had remained gripped by the supposed plight of the kid when it had been thought that he had flown away in a homemade helium balloon. Falcon was however found in the attic in his house some time later, where he had apparently hidden because he was scared his father might scold him for fiddling with his experiment.
According to the Larimer County Sheriff, Jim Alderden, the police were completely head strong in their belief that they had the Heene’s family was telling the truth on the matter. They have however stated that they would seek some sort of clarification on the matter regarding Falcon’s balloon plight. When he was asked on the NBC network’s Today show about the incident being a hoax, Falcon’s father Richard Heene had vehemently denied the charge.
