Six-year-old-son Falcon Heene - who was feared to have floated away on a "homemade flying saucer" Thursday in Colorado - is clearly not used to speaking with the press.

At the beginning of an interview on ABC's Good Morning America Friday, Falcon was asked how he's doing. "I feel good so far," he said.

But when he was asked why he told reporters Thursday that he was hiding "for a show," he turned to his mother, former Wife Swap star Mayumi, and said: "Mom, I feel like I'm going to vomit."

His mother then led him out of the room and he could be heard gagging.

During another interview that that aired simultaneously on NBC's Today, Falcon vomited into a container when his father was answering the same question. (His father, Richard, and Meredith Vieira kept on chatting while the boy threw up.)

On all the morning talk shows Friday, Heene strongly denied that the incident was a hoax.

"I'm not selling anything. This is what we do all the time," he said on Good Morning America. "I don't have a can of beans I'm trying to promote. This is just another day in the life of what we do."

    This stinks of "reality tv". I feel bad for the little guy. He's having to do what his parents tell him and looks very suspicious to me at this point. They aren't setting a very good example for "reality sake". I think the law enforcement, military and Denver Airport should bill them for their time, if this pans out to be nonsense! Remember.
