The “Balloon Boy” News Story Appears to be a Hoax

Like everyone else, the story of a six-year-old boy trapped in a balloon traveling 25 miles per hour thousands of feet above Colorado captivated my attention for several hours yesterday.  However, it appears that the whole thing was a hoax, or at the very least a huge misunderstanding.  I am happy that the child is safe and alive, but I must admit that I am disappointed in myself for getting caught up in the story, and I’m also a little let-down that the story wasn’t true at all.

But Adolf Hitler is very upset that the entire thing was a hoax…
