I found the following on a Lost blog which I apologize, i can’t find the link to anymore but I had saved the text to read later so here it is.
“….So I stumbled across this picture on a French Lost website the other day. The alleged story is that there was some terminally ill kid from Australia who did one of those “Make a Wish” things. Much like if I was about to die, he requested to visit the set of Lost… and took some pictures with the cast and crew.
He then uploaded them to the Internet to share with some friends. No big deal until we were introduced to Henry Gale. Then one of his pictures became very interesting…
A couple of things:
1. Every website that has posted this has taken it down literally hours later. I searched on the Internet for any trace of this last night and couldn’t find it anywhere. There’s no mention of why it’s gone, but it’s gone. This could be a good test to see how closely Big Brother is watching me. If it’s gone tomorrow, you know why! (Note: Part of me thinks it would be pretty fun to get some “official legal letter” threatening my little Blog site. I would probably frame it and proudly display it over my mantle.)
2. This doesn’t prove Henry to be an Other or not. This could be Desmond’s balloon from his “race around the world” story that Henry just stumbled across at some point and decided to use as his story. (Except, how would he know if Desmond had already told Jack and Co. he was in a hot air balloon? Then they would be like “Nice try Henry, heard that one before.” Hmmmm…)
3. This whole story surrounding the picture could be fake. The picture could be photoshopped. The picture could have come from anywhere, in relation to anything… but it has the smiley face on top, as Henry said. It’s crashed in a jungle, looking like the Island on Lost, and weirdos on the Internet even confirmed (before their writings mysteriously vanished) that this would be the type of balloon that could travel across the ocean. But I leave it to you, faithful reader, to make your own judgment.
I’m such a rebel.”

Well they showed a shot of the balloon in the previews for next week’s episode. I’m convinced the Wiz of Oz guy is an other.
the balloon belonged to a henry gail. but the guy at the hatch is not henry gail. desmond arrived on a yaught!
cant believe theres another island!
Sorry I could just be being very very stupid, but have I missed something critical important to the story.. Another Island!?
i dont understand what this photo has to do with anything it shows the balloon from lost, can someone explain please, i havnt yet seen 23 and 24 of season two so if it spils dont tell me haha
the balloon belongs to A henry gale but its not the man they have locked up in the bunker. he killed the real henry and stole his story. he is really one of the others and turns out to be there leader. (seen the last episode crazy ending)
I read i a comment ¿an other island? What are you toalking about?? Please tll me i am very confused :S
I dont get it, it is just a picture of a ballon why did they have to take it down???
ok….there is no second island…..trust me…
My memory is bad and i do need to watch both seasons again, but… When they first captured henry and went to find this balloon, did they not dig up the grave and find ID of the real ballonnist and his wife? I also think there could be a second island, and it is the others that will rescue michael from the co-ordinates that ‘Henry’ gave him. Micheal will run out of gas on that small dinky boat.
OK…MY UNCLE IS ONE OF THE SET DESIGNERS ON LOST IN THE STATES AND HAS TOLD ME THAT LOST IS A BIG SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT…AND THAT THE WHOLE SHOW IS TO FOOL THE VIEWING PUBLIC AND THAT IT IS ACTUALLY BEING FIMED IN CENTRAL PARK…U.S.A
ooooh look, the time i posted this is 815!! SHITE!!!
Central Park? Not sure about that. Wish central park looked likle like last time i was there! LOL.
