On October 15th, 2009, American TV viewers had their daytime programming interrupted by a shocking breaking news story - a 6-year-old boy from Fort Collins, Colorado, was sailing through the air in a runaway flying saucer balloon. TV audiences watched for 90 minutes as the silver balloon whizzed past homes and power lines before landing in a field. But when first responders opened the balloon, the boy was not inside. Was the incident a bizarre accident or a hoax?
