There's now footage of the balloon taking off. Falcon specifically says to the camera filming "Im gonna sneak in the balloon!". When it accidentally takes off one of his brothers exclaims that Falcon's in there (as he had heard him talk to the camera about sneaking in). Some 10 - 15 min later they call 911. I guess they decided to wait to see if indeed Falcon was in the balloon. They couldn't find him on the ground so they called 911 explaining what happened. 3 hours later it turns out he was at home the entire time. Hiding in the attic cuz he was scared that he was in trouble.

I didn't even know about the balloon till somebody in a chatroom I was in mentioned it. I saw maybe the last half hour of the incident.

As for the family being reality show stars. Well sorta. They were featured on the 100th ep of Wife Swap in March.
