With the entire country still fixated on their every move, Richard Heene, his wife Mayumi, Falcon and their other two boys showed a united front while at a grocery store in Colorado today.

This wasn't a hoax. They really went to the store.

In what was easily the dumbest press conference of all-time, Richard Heene's "big announcement" was that he was, to some extent, setting up a suggestion box. Say what?

Heene only spoke for about a minute, telling reporters that he doesn't have cable so he doesn't know what people are saying about his family. So he's putting a box out in front of his house so people can ask questions and he'll come back later and answer them.
Here's a question: "What is wrong with you people!?!?!?!?"
Oh, he did say that the whole balloon stunt was absolutely not a hoax. Whatever.

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made by a hysterical Mayumi Heene yesterday, trying to tell the operator her 6-year-old son Falcon was aboard in a runaway "flying saucer."

Eventually, papa Richard Heene takes over the call and explains how the "saucer" works.
During the call, the operator asked Richard, "Are you sure that [Falcon] is in there?"
Richard replies, "Yeah, we looked everywhere ... and then my son just said ... yeah, he verified it ... he said yeah he went inside just before it went off."
Richard continues, "We had it tethered ... it wasn't supposed to take off."
