The Larimer County Sheriff's Office just held a press conference on the Heene family's flying saucer caper -- and they said, as of now, they feel it was a "real event" and not a hoax.
Sheriff Jim Alderden said Falcon's parents "expressed statements, non verbal communication, body language, and emotions that were consistent with the events taking place."
He confirmed Richard Heene called the FAA first, then a local TV station before calling 911 -- because 9 News had a helicopter they believed could help the situation.
Also interesting to note -- Falcon's parents were asked if they wanted to be present when investigators interviewed him yesterday, but they didn't care, so he went solo.
Alderdon said the video of Falcon from Larry King has raised skepticism in the department and they will re-interview the family tomorrow -- giving the boy time to recover from that puke filled interview on "Today."

Hopefully, this will at least put the family on the child protective service's radar. They should check in on this family every once in a while! The parents appear to be nuts!!!!!
Well the cops are the only ones who think this was a real scare. This was as staged as any reality show.
If the cops can't tell the little boy had been given some type of sedation that made him sick somethings wrong with that cop force.
That family staged the whole thing! i don't believe this was an accident for a second.
Seriously...I guess the police don't feel like doing their jobs...This guy is a total wackjob, and he should not have custody of those kids...
Fascinating...now with new video of the father releasing the balloon...after the quote from the 911 call saying the balloon was tethered and shouldn't have taken off???
PHONIES. I got a bridge to sell that Sheriff's Department.

I think what the police are doing is calculated, they are going on t.v saying they believe this is not a hoax knowing full well that family would watch, after all it's a big deal to be on t.v (as steve martin said on pink panter)lol, this way the family has their guard down and, that cop on t.v will play good cop bad cop and bust them! Right Harvey?!
i just feel like hugging this little boy ! for 4 hrs. yesterday i just held my breath and prayed.now ,now i really hope that they prove that this dad didn,t fake any of this.in any case.these boys need some real love !
Either that cop is too stupid to put two and two together, or he's been paid off.
