'Richard Always Involves The Heene Boys In His Experiments!!' Balloon Boy And Family Were On WIFE SWAP’s 100th Episode!!


I am – Hercules!!

A six-year-old named Falcon Heene was discovered safe and hiding in his family’s attic -- five hours after his older brother told authorities the tyke had floated away in a huge, leaky helium balloon.

The balloon crashed with no kid aboard three hours after it began its 50-mile journey, and the missing kid was discovered alive and well in the attic two hours after the crash.

Now comes word that the balloon boy’s family has been on “Wife Swap” - twice!

The first Heene episode was the fifth-season premiere aired just over a year ago, on Oct. 3, 2008. The second Heene-family installment, marking the show's 100th episode, aired March 13 of this year.

According to the Associated Press:

When they first appeared last fall, the Heenes were described as storm chasers who lived on the edge and were matched with a Connecticut family whose father had a child-proofing business designed to make things as safe as possible for children.

The balloon boy's father, who believes himself the spawn of extraterrestials, said the balloon incident was not a publicity stunt.
