The boy who was thought to be stuck in a high-flying hot air balloon was featured with his family on the show "Wife Swap."

6-year-old Falcon Heene was believed to be trapped in the homemade contraption, flying high above Colorado. Falcon, his mother Mayumi, father Richard, and brothers Bradford and Ryo were on the show last year.

Richard is a storm chaser, an inventor and has been called a "mad scientist."

Hmmm...let's see. Wasn't it fun to be on TV when we had that wife swap. Okay, little brother, you go hide in the attic in a box, and we'll let the balloon go and say you are in it. We'll get lots of attention all over again...isn't that what mom and dad want or they would have never sent mom on a wife swap....
