The balloon boy, also known as Falcon Heene, appeared to be suffering from his UFO shaped flying saucer hot air balloon experience this morning when his family appeared on ABC's Good Morning America and then NBC's Today Show as he threw up in front of the entire viewing audience.
Watch the video of Falcon Heene on The Today Show
Falcon said he was feeling fine after his ordeal yesterday, but he quickly took a turn for the worse. First on Good Morning America he was clearly unwell.
Falcon quickly turned to his mom after telling the world that he felt fine and reported a different feeling altogether.
"Mom, I feel like I'm going to vomit."
Viewers can then hear Falcon throwing up off camera.
Right after, when the Heene Family appeared on The Today Show he can be seen vomiting in to a container.
Many are saying this news story was a hoax (what if it is?) by the Heene family after they have already appeared twice on ABC's Wife Swap and many are saying they just wanted to promote themselves and their storm chasing business.
Anyway, many are feeling bad for Falcon this morning.

Since we now know this child said on tv regarding his hiding for hours that his parents told him to "do it for a show", taken together with him throwing up, I conclude the poor kid is frightened out of his wits, as he knows his parents are liars, and somehow he is involved. Poor thing, he is an innocent in all of this. I do think the parents should be charged with something, as commandeering all the media stations over a hoax, and making their poor child terrified, seems just dreadful, at least to me. What do you think, Amy? smkovalinsky (account still spammed out)

I'm still on the fence about the hoax theory, I really don't know - if it is a hoax it's just the worst thing ever.
The boy is obviously overwhelmed though and so scared of what is going to happen to him or what he thinks is going to happen to him; I felt so bad for him this morning.

Yes, I tried to be on the fence about it but too much points to it as a hoax. In any case, I hope the poor child calms down, as I know you do as well. Thanks for the story. :( smk
