DENVER (AP) — Court documents say computers, video cameras, hard drives and a picture of a flying saucer were seized during a search of the Colorado home of the family in the runaway balloon saga.

Records released Friday list 29 items taken from the Fort Collins home of Richard and Mayumi Heene. They're under investigation after reporting their 6-year-old son was in a runaway helium balloon.

The boy was later found safe at home and authorities say they believe the balloon scare was a hoax. They plan to recommend criminal charges.

The documents didn't say what investigators found on the cameras or the electronic and paper files they took.

The document say authorities also took a flight itinerary, but they don't say who the passenger was or whether the flight had taken place.
