"The Balloon-Hoax" is a newspaper article written by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1844 in The Sun in New York. The article described a fictional journey in which Monck Mason crossed the Atlantic Ocean in three days using a gas balloon. It was presented as a true story but was later exposed as a hoax. The article was retracted two days after its initial publication. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
