A Heene family home video has been released that shows what is said to be the launch of a balloon that caused a panic when 6-year-old Falcon Heene was thought to be aboard. The video was released a day after the Fort Collins, CO, Colorado family claimed that they believed Falcon had climbed into the balloon before it was released. A frantic chase to recover the balloon ensued until it landed without the boy, and it was soon discovered that the boy had been hiding in the family's attic. The video has led to more speculation that the incident was a hoax.http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/21316086/detail.html
