^Funny!

This from a NY Times article:

...Audio of the family’s 911 call, released on Friday afternoon, seemed to raise new questions about the bizarre incident.

The 911 operator did not even do an audible double-take, but kept asking questions about how long the “flying saucer” has been gone and whether it had “any kind of a tracking device” on board.

“We’re looking around the house,” Ms. Heene said.

Mayumi Heene then handed the phone to her husband, Richard. When the operator asked him if his son knew how to operate the flying saucer, Mr. Heene replied “no.”

She asked if he was sure his son was in the device. Mr. Heene then said in a frantic voice: “We looked everywhere.” He then referred to 10-year-old Bradford, his oldest son. “My son said he went inside just before it went off. We had it tethered. It wasn’t supposed to take off. We were testing it to find out what affect we could get.”

Mr. Heene then told the operator that there was a possibility that if his son were inside, he could be in danger because for one minute, in a five-minute cycle, the balloon “emits a million volts on the outer skin.”

He said he was also concerned about an aircraft hitting the balloon.
The operator asked him about the appearance of the flying saucer. “It’s silver?”

Mr. Heene answered, in what has become the understatement of the week:

“It’s got aluminum foil, it’s hard to miss.”

At a news conference in Fort Collins on Friday, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said that the 911 call was not the first call the Heene family made. The first was to the Federal Aviation Administration. The second was to the local NBC affiliate.

“I find it odd,” Mr. Alderden admitted.

In the lengthy news conference, Mr. Alderden said his investigators on the scene believed the Heene family, and that their initial grief was real. But the interview on CNN Thursday night where Falcon said the reason he hid so long was “for the show,” changed the investigation.
...

What we know: one, the Dad believes in UFO's, and two, created a balloon that looks just like a flying saucer.
