Richard Heene is an amateur scientist and storm chaser from Colorado. Richard Heene made the news Oct. 15, 2009, when his home-made hot air balloon reportedly took off with his son, Falcon, inside. Instead, it was later discovered that the whole thing was likely a hoax, staged to get publicity for the family in hopes of landing a reality TV show. Richard Heene and his wife Mayumi are likely to face felony charges for the incident.
