Originally presented as a true story, it detailed European Monck Mason's trip across the Atlantic Ocean in only three days in a gas balloon. It was later revealed as a hoax and the story was retracted two days later. The story now known as \"The Balloon-Hoax\" was first printed in The Sun newspaper in New York. The article provided a detailed and highly plausible account of a lighter-than-air balloon trip by European balloonist Monck Mason across the Atlantic Ocean taking 75 hours, along with a diagram and specifications of the craft.","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67381266776368,"sku":"BD275y","price":1.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-275y","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
