Episode description as stored
In 2009, a Colorado family claimed their six year-old son had floated away inside a homemade flying saucer. As helicopters tracked the balloon live on national television, the country braced for tragedy, until the story began to fall apart. Sabrina and Corinne revisit the Balloon Boy hoax, a crime that turned panic into spectacle and exposed the power of a well-timed lie.
