we're talking about the sheriff and we'll also hear from falcon himself. let's listen to falcon. this is what really has spurred on the talk of it possibly being a hoax. the heene family was on "larry king" last night with wolf blitzer and little falcon spoke talking about why he wouldn't come out when he heard his name called. let's listen to that. >> falcon, did you hear us calling your name at any time? >> mm-hmm. >> you did? >> you did? >> why didn't you come out? >> um -- you said that we did this for the show. >> no? >> okay. there you have it. bob, i'll ask you. this is what has people suspicious. when you heard that, do it for the show, did you get suspicious at all? >> no. it's a 6-year-old. he was probably confused. that doesn't play for me. >> okay. let's bring in mike brooks, investigator, has done interviews and listened to interviews. mike, when you heard that, what r were your thoughts? >> yeah, he is a kid. but where does he pick this up? does he just make this up himself? you know, what bothered me, mike, as an investigator, then wolf just following up on the que

there's no falcon. along the way, there was a report from the associated press that, whom we later found out to be an official from weld county, who he said he thought he saw something fall from this aircraft. if you wonder how it gets around, there's helium in it. now we're hearing that what this deputy thought they saw, this picture here, falling from the aircraft, for the better part of the past hour, we thought that this was the basket -- >> box. >> thank you, that was supposed to carry the battery pack. that's what we thought. now, as you just reported, the local affiliate there kusa is saying, in fact, they may never have been a basket. so now we're back to another theory that some people are working with that perhaps -- perhaps this 6-year-old boy, falcon, was never in the basket to begin with. all right? so we're not sure right now what we're working with. but what we do know what's probably happening is multiple investigations at one time. they're still searching for the child, probably over la

referencing falcon. the other thing we were surprised to hear is every five minutes richard heene says this device gives off "million volt electric charge on its outer skin and if he touches it he could get electrocuted." what that means? who knows. further coverage. we'll replay that 911 tape and analyze it during the course of the afternoon. news conference coming up shortly from ft. collins, colorado. we'll be right back. >>> 6-year-old falcon heene is safe with his family. we expect more on the balloon boy incident at the top of the hour. the sheriff's department will presumably answer more questions about the balloon. this is the scene from yesterday. just about this time yesterday around 11:00 mountain daylight as this was taking off. take a look. >> two, one. >> whoa. >> my god. okay. you didn't put the [ bleep ] tether on. >> about the time the balloon lifted off they realize the youngest boy, falcon was nowhere to be found. they feared somehow he climbed into the basket of the balloon. >> it was

and when i did, i felt like, no, falcon was not in there. falcon was not flying that high.s not in there. i knew he was not in it. >> why did you say that? was it knowing the family -- >> no, no. just psychically, i just asked. i'm a psychic. i just asked, is falcon in this? and i got, no, he's not in it. so i had peace about it. and then i has to realize, where is he? my first thought is falcon loved to jump. he jumped from the top of the second story of their house down to the coach. he was a jumper all the time. so my first thought was, if it was anything and it did take off, he would have jumped, he loves to jump. it's like, he's going to be okay. i knew and i told the news before they released that he was okay, i knew he was going to be okay. >> you think this happened exactly the way the family said it did? >> i do believe that richard -- i don't think what he said is he doesn't seek publicity. i don't think that's true. >> let me ask you about that. not only did they go out of their way to be on a reality tv show, which is fine. but i think it's a little bit more tha

now there's no sign of falcon. there's an indication again, from the larimer county sheriff he may never have been inside. we're going to take a quick break and marshall our resources. we'll be right back with further coverage. >>> welcome back to breaking news news. we've been following for a couple of hours, an experimental aircraft the heene family made. they live in ft. collins, colorado. the reason we followed it we thought their son falcon heene was inside. the thing got up to attitudes of 10,000 feet. it eventually did come down. falcon is not in this aircraft. initially there's a report from the associated press that they thought maybe he had fallen out. turns out again once it came down falcon was not in there. we now know there's some sort of ground search going on to try to find out where falcon is. did he ever get into this aircraft? did he get in tragically possibly fell out. there is a ground search going on right now to find out what happened to falcon heene. six years old. he helped build this thing

falcon with wolf uncovering what many of us believed. >> falcon, did you hear us calling your name at any time? >> you did. >> you did? >> why didn't you come out? >> you guys said that we did this for the show. >> yeah. >> no. >> cooper, i mean, yeah, when i first see that. it is somewhat humorous. your 6-year-old got you. it is sad, very sad when you think those wide eyes of the two brothers as well as falcon, just what must be going on in their minds and hearts, a part of this lie and dad is the one forwarding this. >> he looks to the mother for a cue like how do i alps this question. is this how we rehearsed it? children at 6 the way they process lies are different than children who are older. the kid didn't know what to do. obviously, they hadn't rehearsed it. children want to please their parents. that is their main goal at that age. they know they wanted to give a certain answer. the child's mind is going i know what the truth is, i know what my parents want me to say and at 6 year old it is confusing. >> i hope there is no fallout that the little boy told the truth. >> he obvi

reporters talked to falcon himself shortly after he was found. >> falcon, can you tell us, please, where you were hiding and why you stayed hidden so long? >> i was in the attic and he scared me because he yelled at me. that's why i went in the attic. i didn't come out soon or else he would yell at me and i would get in trouble. >> now this all started when the boy's brother said that he had seen the 6-year-old climb inside the balloon before it took off yesterday morning. police and military helicopters tracked the balloon for 50 miles. cameras were rolling when the balloon finally came down in a field and you see the searchers running after it trying to catch it in case the little boy was inside. falcon was not inside. about two hours later to everyone's relief he came out of his hiding place. you know what, this is not the first time this family has been in the spotlight. they've even been on reality tv shows before. correspondent richard lui has more on who this family is in about ten minutes. what a story. you know, that story has everybody talking this morning, especially those of

certainly we wanted to question whether that was strong enough of falcon. we have that on display in our evidence bay, we will show you that at the conclusion of this press conference and allow you to get some photographs. we did place 37 pounds weight in it and suspended it and it is, in fact, capable, as bizarre as it sounds being held together with duct tape, it will, in fact, support the weight of a 37-pound boy. i want to recap the events just briefly up to this point. the morning this occurred, it was obviously chaotic. we responded as a number of other rescue personnel responded to what we believed was a life-threatening event with a 6-year-old boy's life in jeopardy. we responded in a rescue mode. after the balloon landed and it was determined that the boy was in there and he was not in the house, we went in a body recovery mode. clearly, emotions were running high. at that time, i made a big point out of saying, talking about the emotional condition of the family, their body language and nonverbal communications. everything that we experienced with

the falcons response after a long kickoff return. they run it in for the go-ahead score by michael turner. looking pretty good. who's no, the falcons won. you can see the despondent look at jay cutler's face. and the new york jets rookie all the rage lately. paradesing the heck out of him. he's looking like a rookie, because right now, the buffalo bills made him look silly sunday. five interceptions and the in the jets overtime loss to buffalo. eight picks in the last two games. his coach thought an benching him. not good for him. >>> this is not good for the sport of soccer. showing you soccesoccer, you kns to be good. look at the beach ball there on the field. there it is. you see it? beach ball on the field. the ball hits the beach ball and goes in. this goal should not have stood but the referees didn't restart play. so nobody apparently new the rules. a look at sports. tom brady did something no nfl quarterback ever be. let it stand and they shouldn't have. >>> a halloween costume has lots of people talking. an illegal alien. ha

falcon was not inside. about two hours later, to everyone's relief, because they were like, oh, my gosh, did he fall out, he came out of his hiding place. guess what, this is not the first time this family has been in the spot. richard lui has more on who they are in about ten minutes. go ahead, join the conversation. we are blogging about it if you want to on cnn.com/robin. if you're a facebooker, we're all over that as well. maybe you want to say your reactions now or maybe you want to tell me how you were feeling as you were watching it yesterday afternoon. that's fine, too. >>> happening today, defense attorneys for casey anthony will be in court asking the judge to throw out the murder charges against her. they claim investigators destroyed the crime scene when they recovered the body, preventing defense experts from reviewing it. prosecutors say evidence taken from the scene was preserved and there are hundreds of photographs available to the defense. >>> we need to tell you about a new h1n1 warning t
