The infamous father of the “Balloon Boy,” Richard Heene, is auctioning the balloon he said carried his son off to benefit victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. In 2009, Heene and his family drew national attention and concern when they claimed a homemade flying saucer had flown away with their 6-year-old son, Falcon, inside. Heene later served 90 days in jail for wasting government resources—police and news crews tracked the balloon for nearly two hours until it landed—during the search. The balloon will be up for auction until June 7 and bids can be made at balloonboyflyingsaucer.com.
