22 - Balloon Boy (Wife Swap)
On a crisp fall day in Fort Collins Colorado in 2009, a family of storm chasers does a test flight of their homemade flying saucer. But as it's taking off, they realize it isn't tethered - and their 6 year old might be inside. After a brief search (and a call to the press) the Heene family calls the police, and thus begins a search and rescue effort for 6 year old Falcon Heene, quickly known as "Balloon Boy". But what started as a scary moment for this young family quickly turned sour as more information came out. Did the Heenes really believe their son was stuck in a flyer saucer? Or were they just trying to get their own TLC show? Have a case or anything else reality TV related you want to hear us cover? Reach out to us at realitybombshell@gmail.com.
