Pluff Mud -Dirigible Squadron Scrambles for Balloon Boy Pursuit

PLUFF MUD: ONCE YOU GET IN

....YOU CAN'T GET OUT

   Pentagon Officials Estimate the Cost of "Balloon Boy" Pursuit to the U.S. Taxpayer at 50.1 million dollars. The U.S. Air Force's Special Dirigible Squadron was scrambled as soon as news reached the Air Guard's Post at Hindenburg Field in Windy Hill, NC that a small boy had accidently taken off in a Balloon.

   With a Service that has a storied and sometimes controversial history that includes the downing of a disguised Kansas State Fair Balloon, at the time believed to be an alien vessel, piloted by the popularly called "Wizard of Oz", alias Oscar Zoraster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs an Omaha, Nebraska sideshowman, ventriloquist, and magician , as well as the most recent celebrated saving of the Poughkeepsie, NY native, Miss Tibbs, a Brown Tabby Cat who had climbed up the tallest tree in the area, and was believed to be stuck before the intervention of the USAF SDS.

    On Thursday, six-year-old Falcon Heene's parents called 911, claiming the boy was in the UFO-shaped balloon when it drifted away from the family's backyard.

    When the balloon landed after being disabled by one of the Dirigible Services Pursuit Craft,  "The Pufferfish" an 80-kilometre flight, Falcon was nowhere to be found. He was discovered five hours later at home, hiding in the rafters of the family's garage.

      Soon after realizing that the 6 year old brat had pulled a fast one, the Pentagon began work on the cost that this stunt had caused the US, hoping it would distract the American Public from the recent disclosure of the 1.6 trillion in R & D for the Prototype Nuclear Attack Zepplin, the He-2.
