Good morning. I’m Melissa Long here at the CNN centre in Atlanta. It’s Friday, October the 16th. And here‘s the stories that are making news right now.
Speculation is growing about whether Tuesday's runaway balloon story in Colorado was a hoax. Initially, Falcon Heene’s family said they feared the six-year- old that climbed inside this homemade balloon which then took off and flew some fifty miles. Police launched a huge search and rescue operation only to find the six years old was actually hiding in the attic at his home. Authority says their ordeal was not fake . But last night on CNN’s Larry King Night, Falcon said he didn't come out because it was for the show. Some wonders if it was reference to a reality television program the family has appeared on or the media coverage of the runaway balloon.
