the balloon boy and 12 Monkeys

[Ancient Alien]

anyone remember the movie 12 monkeys with brad pitt and bruce willis? in the movie, before the deadly virus is released there is a big news story about a boy stuck in a well. the whole nation is on edge praying for the boys rescue and it turns out he was hiding in the house the whole time.

this balloon boy story just made me think of it.

Ancient Alien - Yes, I do remember 12 Monkeys. The last name of the balloon boy family was Heene (prounced hee-nee), which is also what some people are calling H1N1. The balloon boy's first name was Falcon; its feminine counterpart is Lark.

The FBI went after that family. That is also kind of strange, since you'd think it would be a local matter. Maybe it's different for air space, i.e. not local. The family lived near an airport. The balloon incident is also under investigation by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, according to wikipedia.

In the balloon boy incident, the Heenees were handcuffed and charged.

Twelve monkeys (1996):
Plot - In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.
