When we think about the first humans flying, we usually associate it with airplanes. Well that's wrong. Associate it with ballooning now. 

This week, Colin tells the origin story of hot air ballooning while Sierra rewrites history, making it a little more drunk. Join us as we discuss how an entire child flew in a weather balloon, the difference between a Pilot and a Captain, and how science didn't really exist in the 1700's.

What would you do for your 15 seconds of fame? Join us as we talk about so many people's favorite, The Loch Ness Monster! We also touch on the crazy story about the Balloon Boy!

Welcome to the 24th episode of Wild Society!

Edmund Kemper III is one of the world’s most notorious serial killers, and is often referred to as “The Co-ed Killer.” Beginning with a mother that was anything but loving and ending with her demise, we find out why and how Edmund killed 10 people between 1964 through 1973. His crimes were brutal, but what we learned from them changed the course of criminal investigation history forever.

The entire world watched as a homemade helium filled balloon, shaped like a UFO, soared through the Colorado sky in October of 2009. The Heene family and officials were panicked as they believed that 6 year old Falcon Heene was inside the balloon. After traveling 50 miles, the balloon finally landed, but the boy wasn’t inside. He was soon found hiding in the attic of the family home. Was the boy scared to get in trouble or was the whole thing a hoax?
