Balloon Boy throws up on Today (source: NBC)
Yesterday the world initially watched in horror as 6-year old Falcon Heene - the Balloon Boy - was believed to have launched himself into the atmosphere thanks to a "homemade flying saucer" laying around his UFO-hunting parents' Colorado home.
On ABC's "Good Morning America" today, Falcon said "I feel good so far," in response to being asked how he is holding up after his rough non-balloon adventure that turned up the boy hiding in the attic rather than drifting out into the abyss.
But keeping pace with yesterday's dramatic twists and turns in this story, Falcon quickly turned to his mom after telling the world that he felt fine and reported a different feeling altogether.
"Mom, I feel like I'm going to vomit."
His mom then took him off camera to throw up, which could still be heard on national television.
Moments later, Falcon then vomited into a container while his father was being interviewed on NBC's "Today."
Was the balloon adventure a hoax? Maybe.
The vomiting? That was legit.

There's a sucker born every minute. I bet my life savings that this con job. Don't be a maroon. Everybody gets played like a chump every once in a while. Did you read Richard Heene's background? The man is a wackadoo. And the Sheriff Dept. doesn't want to admit they got played because their hayseeds too. I put the odds at 100 to 1 it's a con, solely based on what that kid said on Larry King and his background. Any takers? Lay out the cash it's a 100 to 1 odds. If I lose you'll make a killing!
(Seriously, Colorado social services should investigate solely for the kids sake, this man is mentally ill.)
Breaking news!
Thought you might want to watch this over a nice leisurely lunch.
This is very sad. The kid is vomiting and his parents are just continuing to talk?? What?? I feel sorry for this kid. Regardless if its a hoax or not (which I believe it prob was) where is the concern of the child? He has thrown up twice on two different shows and they just kept on like it was nothing. The child should be at home in his bed he is obviously sick or very stressed out!!
Got something to say?
