Speculation is rampant that the story of Falcon Heene, a six-year-old Colorado boy who went missing and was suspected of being on board a wayward helium balloon, was fabricated.

News outlets worldwide have covered the story and the New York Times recently wrote about the many reasons it could be a hoax, including the fact the boy had toys and snacks with him in the attic he was allegedly hiding.

Regardless, most international Twitter users are sick of hearing about the “balloon boy”:
