Balloon Boy Found Alive ... At Home

The kid who everyone thought was flying through the air in a homemade balloon was finally found -- hiding in a cardboard box in the attic of his home.

Officials say Falcon Heene's parents were "hysterical" during the search -- but turns out he was just hiding the entire time.

Cops also tell TMZ they won't charge the Heene's for the manpower it took to chase their crazy UFO balloon that didn't have a kid stuck inside.

I guess the sibling didn't see him get in the balloon after all. I wonder if they'll make the parents pay for the "rescue" effort.
