Excerpts of 911 call reporting boy is in balloon

Excerpts from a 911 call made by Mayumi and Richard Heene, the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was feared aboard a balloon that got away from the family's yard Thursday. After the balloon landed in a field 50 miles away, the boy, Falcon, was found hiding in the family's garage:

Dispatcher: "And so it was an experimental plane?

Mayumi Heene: "It's a flying saucer."

D: "It's a flying saucer?"

...

MH (crying): "We've got to get my son."

Dispatcher: "Ma'am, does it have any kind of a tracking device or anything on it?"

MH: "No."

...

(Richard Heene gets on the phone)

D: "How long has the 6-year-old been missing?"

Richard Heene: "Um, just a few minutes, um."

Dispatcher: "Was the flying saucer in the backyard?"

RH: "Yes."

D: "OK, does it, it obviously has electronics, so that he can know how to work it, and he gets it up off the air, off the ground?"

RH (crying): "No, he doesn't know how it operates."

...

D: "We had it tethered, it wasn't supposed to take off."

RH: "It wasn't running then?"

D: "Well it doesn't run, it's filled with helium and it operates off of a million volts to, uh, move left and right, horizontal."

D: "OK."

RH: "And, uh, we were testing it to find out what effect we could get."

D: "OK. And so it was last seen 20 minutes ago?"

RH: "Probably. I'm losing track of time."

...

RH: "I don't know whether its possible you guys to detect, uh, the electricity that it emits, but every five minutes it comes on for one minute, and, uh, it emits a million volts on the outer skin, and uh, if he kicks it or touches it he can get electrocuted."
