Remember Balloon Boy?

It was five years ago today that everybody was transfixed by the silver ship floating in the sky.

Falcon is 11 years old now and is in a metal band with his two older brothers.

I remember watching Shep Smith report this story and thought how bizarre. Odd family, especially the father. They are probably still capitalizing on the children.

Did the parents go to jail over this hoax?

The family must have fallen on hard times as it appears they cannot afford shirts.

Lipstick, it's been 5 years.

Lulu, yes, the parents went to jail. I think the dad spent 30 days in jail and they had to pay restitution.

It seems longer than 5 years ago to me!

Hope the parents grew up enough to raise their children.

Complicated, seems longer than 5 yrs to me too. The father was creepy and a "nutcase".

They are a real cute group, that's for sure. I read it as "mental band" the first time.

LOL. That made me laugh Croemer! My 16 yr old granddaughter sometimes says rachet. I went to the garage and got her a real ratchet and said this is a ratchet. She cracked up laughing.
