Larimer County Sheriff, Jim Alderden stated that he doesn’t think the Balloon Boy incident that happened yesterday was a hoax.He said that they believed a balloon of that size could have very well carried about 80 pounds.Since the little boy only weighs about 37 pounds,it was certainly conceivable at the time.

He said the parents expressed appropriate body language and emotions that were consistent with the events that were taking place. Also he didn’t think the parents reaction was fake, when they found out that the boy was not in the balloon.

He continued saying that it seems much more likely that the young boy hid out of fear, because he thought he was responsible for the balloon,becoming untied and taking off.

He then commented on the interview with Wolf Blitzer where the boy commented that they did it for the show. He said they are going to go back an reinterview the family a second time to make sure the stories are straight. However, at this time they feel that it was not a hoax,and that people are certainly free to speculate on it. But the authorities must go in facts.
